Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to an injury.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

I also suggest using Voltaren gel for local application.

Ice compresses can help in relieving the pain.

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

Regards,
