Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From your history, an inflammatory swelling an abscess or a fracture/dislocation would have to be excluded. Each of these condition requires different specialist management, and for the diagnosis, this ought to be examined physically by your family physician/orthopedic surgeon in your area along with some related investigations. Therefore, I would suggest you to take appointment with the concerned doctors in your area for an appropriate management. Till that you could take an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.
