Try Voltaren (diclofenac) gel: Apply voltaren (diclofenac) gel to the area of tenderness - cover the gel with Saran wrap to enhance absorption and keep the gel from being absorbed by clothing - leave the area covered for 3-4 hours/ day - should work in 3-4 days (voltaren (diclofenac) (diclofenac) gel is an anti inflammatory NSAID like celebrex) - requires a prescription.

Immobilization: You may benefit with a period of immobilization with a rigid walking boot or a cast or a brace. Have it re-evaluated and get it treated.
