Hi,
It is better to take rest. You may be having a pre-existing injury or inflammation of the joint that leads to an effusion of joint or calcification of ligament. Also, possible with pseudogout or gouty arthritis.
Use NSAIDs, use painkiller medication, use a tablet Orcerin.
If symptoms not improved please consult your orthopedician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
