Respected Dr. Shah , Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* This seems in relation with either ligament tear or underlying nerve
irritation from chronic inflammation .
* Must opt for MRI of the local part to get diagnosed and further
management guidelines rather than taking empiric treatment as
a Surgeon dear .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Thanks .
Regards .
