General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it will be due to ligament or tendon involvement.

As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

An MRI scan is required to rule out tendon or ligament involvement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
