Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also recommend using cold compresses for local application.
It I recommended to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
