Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query.
If you are able to bear the weight on your limb without much pain then a bone injury is unlikely. You need to continue with rest and ice . Most of the times it is a soft tissue injury but it takes 1-2 weeks for the pain to subside. I suggest you to visit an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
