Brief Answer:
Get an xray done to rule out any bony injury.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

From the description it seems to be soft tissue injury . I advice you to go for an xray to rule out any bony injury. Meanwhile give rest to the part affected ,take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.

Hope this helps you.

Warm regards.
