Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here you are having history of injury by gravitational force while walking...
Hence it seems to tendon, ligament like injury and so that pain can be from musculoskeletal pain...

For that you should get checked with x ray of local part and according to cause further specific treatment given

If needed crap bandage will be prescribed

Ibuprofen 200 mg BD for five days can be taken

Take care

Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination with keeping all this in mind
