Hello,
Consult an orthopedic and get an MRI scan done to look for any muscle pull or ligament injury. X-ray will not be able to detect ligament involvement and small fractures. As of now you can take analgesics like paracetamol or Diclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
