Yes.: Anytime if pain persists you should seek medical advice for a physical exam and you may need to have an x-ray taken. Sometimes the physician can also give you a specific brace that may aid your recovery. Congratulations on using rest, ice, compression and elevation as this is often primary part of treatment.
