General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It may be due to sprain or contusion.

As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. Apply ice packs also.

If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

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