Hi,
It might be due to some ligament or tendon related problem which may not be seen in X-ray. You can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan which is a better imaging modality and it is superior to X-ray. As of now you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
