Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Your injury seems little deep in joints.
You should see a doctor as you may need some investigations.
Till then
give cold compress to the joint,
immobilize it properly,
do not put weight of your body on it,
till you see your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.
