Maybe. : If it is red and swollen and/or hot to touch definitely get it checked out. It could just be overuse and a strain in which case over the counter antiinflammatories would work. It could be other conditions like four or even an injury like a break.

It certainly : Would not hurt to get it checked out and you would find out what is wrong instead of wondering.
