Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

An initial xray of the injured part is mandatory to rule out any bony injury (fracture). If the xray is negative for a fracture, then the other possibility is soft tissue injury either to the ligaments, tendons etc.

The initial management for your condition is as follows -

- Give adequate rest to the injured part and avoid any movements that produces pain
- Apply ice wrapped in a damp towel to the injured area for 15 to 20 minutes every two to three hours during the day
- Compress or bandage the injured area to limit any swelling and movement that could damage it further. You can use a crepe bandage or a simple elastic bandage
- Keep the injured area raised and supported on a pillow to help reduce swelling. If your leg is injured, avoid having long periods of time where your leg is not raised.
- Gentle massage with a pain killer cream over the injured area might be helpful

If your symptoms are still persisting after the above measures, consult an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation and management.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
