Get the imaging: You need to have an orthopedic doctor check you with imaging study like an MRI to define fracture. In most such non displaced and uncomplicated cases no casting or brace is required except for conservative supportive care with rest and pain meds. You should follow up to make sure it heals at expected time, and only gradually increase your activities to avoid repeat episodes and promote healing
