Hello, It may be due to fracture. For further assessment you may require complete hologram, x-ray or MRI after orthopedic surgeon consultation. You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation. Till then for pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Restrict your movements. Use support while walking. Hope I have answered your query... Let me know if I can assist you further. Chat Doctor.
