Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you might have damaged your ligament or cartilage. It would be better if you can send me images. You need urgent x rays and then clinical examination by a orthopaedic doctor.
If there is any fracture or ligament injury then you will need splinting. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
