Hello,
I have studied your case.
There is possibility of edema or arthritis which can be due injection also.
It may subside with time.
Pain indicates inflammatory process or nerve compression.
I will advise you to do MRI and Ultrasound if pain persist.
Till time you can start analgesic and take rest.
