Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to tendonitis. Better to get it examined by an orthopedician to rule out that. Rest and ice application will give you improvement. You can also take over the counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Applying gels containing NSAIDs like nimusulide or diclofenac, capsaicin and methyl salicylate will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
