Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have to give absolute rest means don't keep on pressure on that joint. Use crepe bandage, elevate the limb it may take few days to weeks to recover completely so don't worry. If symptoms not improved please consult your orthopedics he will examine and take X-ray of the joint and treat you accordingly. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
