Depends: Depends on the severity of the problem Note if severely injured such as fracture needs surgery or immobilization. if you can move and not very painful but is slowly getting better, then no. If still quite painful but can be moved then see your doctor if not improved in one or two days. Best wishes. As long as you are not pregnant , you can use advil If you are use tylenol (acetaminophen).
