You should come in and be evaluated. It is possible that you have a partial or complete tear of a deep flexor muscle, though hopefully it is just a recurrent strain. Regardless, it needs to be evaluated in person.

If you did rupture a muscle partially. The muscle will heel but in a shorten position you need to stretch and strengthen the muscles. You should see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. DPM, DO, MD
