Hello dear.
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I will advice you to consult some orthopaedician for proper examination so as to exclude any minor fracture. It should not be taken lightly.
By the time, you can do icing of the affected part and take some anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen etc for symptomatic relief.
As per details, this is my best advice for you. If you have further query, you may ask me.
Sta healthy.
