Hi Samantha
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
U seem to have a soft tissue swelling or a ligament inflammation that might be causing the pain.
U should get an Xray done to find out the exact cause.Hot fomentation,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help. A shot of local steroid injection should be useful.
Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
