HI
Well come to HCM
This could be injury due to wave chances of fracture would be very likely and this need to be ruled out and for that better to get done x-ray, if this is unremarkable then this is nothing to worry, soft tissue inflammation may the reason then, and this can be well managed with NSAID (Non-steroid-Anti-inflammatory Drug ) and best option would be Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, take care.
