Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you need to get an X ray done to see if there was any associated fracture along with dislocation.
the usual healing period of these type of injuries is from 3 to 6 weeks, so may be your injury is in the healing phase and would resolve with time.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
