Hi,
Once the arthritis has been ruled out, it can be due to ligament or tendon injury. You can try analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussai
