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.
