Hi,
It might be due to minor contusions or ligament injury.
Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done.
As the first line of management, you can apply ice packs and take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
