Depends!: Did you fall on it? If you had a severe blow to it or fell, you may have a fracture. The only way to be sure is to get an x-ray. Your age is not appearing. It is easier to break bones when older or in childhood and adolescence. If your pain lasts for more than a few days, worsens, or you have numbness, tingling or weakness, see a doc. No ibuprofen, aleve, or aspirin for 72 hours). Tylenol, (acetaminophen) ice
