Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

It might be soft tissue injury , ligament injury or fracture.

Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others.

I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.

In the interim, ice the affected area and take anti-inflammatory drug like mortin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.

Regards.
