Hi,

You can consult your orthopedician and get evaluated.

As the first step, we can go for conservative measures like ice packs and analgesics for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, you might require an MRI scan for further assessment.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
