Thank you for getting back with the answers. I'm sorry to bother you again but can you lastly please tell your age, gender & current weight? Secondly, is it possible to share image of the x-ray taken?
Most common cause for such pain includes ligamentous injury followed by degenerative changes. I can guide you according to your age, gender & weight that which investigations can help you to confirm the diagnosis and meanwhile medications that can help.
