Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury or torn muscle.
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Warm Regards.
