See a doctor: Check with your doctor. If not Xrayed when diagnosed, that might be a good idea now, to make sure there is no fracture.

Sprain: It is time to have someone look at it and decide if an x-ray is needed. If they did X-ray at first and no fracture may be time to get an MRI to see what is going on.
