Let's get some help: This sounds like ligament/tendon strain or possibly a bursitis (inflammation of a bursa (a sac of fluid)). However a nerve could be getting trapped. I have found that seeing a physical therapist, results in decreased pain, increased movement and help in diagnosis. See a physical therapist and get moving today!!!
