Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You must be suffering from myositis ossificans.
Get an x-ray of the affected part done. Massage and physiotherapy with compression bandage will help. Consult an orthopedist if the above measures don’t help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahaveer Patil
