Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It might be soft tissue 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.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
