Hello, As you are able to do daily activities, so it is clear that you don't have a bony injury.-Hip joint-Knee joint-Ankle jointThese are the whole body weight-bearing joints, So minor injury or major injury to these joints shouldn't be neglected, and the patient needs absolute bed rest. In your case, it's not a fracture of bone but soft tissue injury (Mostly spring ligament or bursitis). So there should be absolute bed rest with cr\u00eape bandage application. Please see an Orthopaedician for how to apply the bandage. Take good analgesics like tablet Stretford twice daily for five days. Take tablet Circa Once daily for three weeks. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
