Brief Answer:
It could be a contusion or sprain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It could be a contusion or sprain, may be due to some minor hit that might have went unnoticed or prolonged physical exertion.
As of now you can use over the counter available analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery.
You can wait for three to four days for spontaneous recovery. If symptoms persists additional investigations like serum uric acid and X-ray has to be taken to rule out conditions like gout and any stress fracture.
Hope I have answered your query.
