Get checked.: You don't say how long ago! If you have had no change in the pain, 7 days after injury, get checked. You may have a small fracture. Otherwise, if it is gradually improving, it may take 6 weeks to totally heal. Take it easy while healing. If it stops improving, or lasts longer than 6 weeks, see your doc and found out what's going on and any treatment options available.
