Hello,
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedic and plan for an MRI scan.
We have to rule out possible causes like ligament sprain and tendon related problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
