Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
In addition to the tendon injury, it is possible that there may be nerve injury as well since you are having a shooting pain.
It would be best either to re visit your orthopedic doctor for assessment or make an appointment to see another orthopedic specialist.
If nerve injury is suspected, additional imaging, such as an MRI, would be best.
This shows both bones and nerves along with any other tissues
I hope this helps
