Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
It could be soft tissue injury, broken bone or ligament injury.Without ray it is difficult to differentiate fracture from others. I suggest you consult an orthopaedician for clinical examination. You may get Xray under his/her supervision.
Meanwhile avoid putting weight and rest well.
Hope this helps you.
