Thanks for posting your query.
It might be soft tissue injury, ligamint 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 lifting and rest well.
Regards.
