Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If there is no bone injury on X-rays then there must be a tendon and soft tissue injury in the area that is causing the persistent pain and restriction of the movement.
The soft tissue injury usually heals in 6-8 weeks. If the pain and restricted movement are still persistent then it is best to go for regular physiotherapy exercises and do a hot compress in the area for relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
