Hi,
I have read your query.
Yes you should definitely go to clinic as this may get even worsen with time.
There may be soft tissue injury which is not evident on xray.
Your doctor will do clinical examination and advise you MRI scan if needed.
Till then take aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase tablet three times a day by prescription.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
