Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Soft tissue: At your age your symptoms are most likely soft tissue related, i.e. Sprained and/or inflamed muscle. It would be reasonable to observe for a few days and try anti-inflammatory meds and ice. If symptoms persist then see a physician for further workup such as x-rays.
