Hello,

I have studied your case history.

Traumatic injury can lead hairline fracture which may not be visible on x ray
You will need X ray of spine and hip and if required MRI.
Clinical examination is important to rule out any ligament injury.
For these symptoms analgesic and medication can be started.

Till time take medication like analgesic and use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and take rest.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
