Hi,
It is nothing but a contusion arising out of excessive use and strain. As a first line of management you can apply ice packs and take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedics and get an MRI scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
