hi.
inflammatory reaction usually occurs in 2-3 days time. in about a week, swelling will subside. if there's persistence of symptoms, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably an orthopedic surgeon, for clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as x-ray, mri) may be recommended. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
