Brief Answer:
You need to take some rest and take NSAID

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would suggest you to take some rest. And Brufen tablet for pain relief. As you are saying that pain is getting reduced so it is good and it makes fracture possibility less likely. Still if pain persist for more then ten days then you can get x rays after ten days.
thanks
