Brief Answer:
go to emergency
Detailed Answer:
hi
pain after trauma is always a indication of possible fracture or even sprain..
I advised you to see a doctor for X ray to rule out any fracture and a proper evaluation to rule out any soft tissue injury.
meanwhile take pain killer like paracetamol on SOS basis. if this is not helpful, probably you need stronger prescription medicines.
Hope this will help
