Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
dear friend, no need to worry, I have understood your concern, see this is an acute injury, here you got pain immediately and shooting type of pain will be there. first do not apply any heating modalities, apply ice first this pain will slowly disappear, to decrease swelling and edema apply ice wrap in compression bandages. and as soon as possible visit physical therapist and take ultrasound treatment for 15days which will decrease swelling and take IFT modalities for instance relief from pain. gradually as pain decreases start doing some active exercise and gradually weight bear as needed only. I hope you satisfied with this answer.
