Hello,
Most probably it will be a simple sprain or muscular pain. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. If symptoms are severe an MRI scan is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
