Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to bursitis. I suggest using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or Naproxen to relieve pain and swelling. You also may want to use an ice pack on the area to reduce swelling. If the symptoms continue, you should see an orthopedist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
