Brief Answer:
Apply hot compression

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

I would insist you to apply hot compression and see if that helps. If the pain reduces, you can wait for urgent care till tomorrow. But if the pain persists or increases, it would be better to visit the ER today.

Feel free to write back.
