Hi there
Its good that you haven't sustained a fracture .
But I would still advice you to get a plaster slab applied ss complete immobilisation is very essential for healing and it can best be achieved in the plaster .
Treatment :
1. Plaster application
2. Complete bed rest
3. Leg elevation with body in reclining position .
4. Anti inflammatory like diclofenac
5. A multivitamin .
I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
