Sprain/strain?: Depends on history too, for example if you dropped something on it or twisted it, there may even be a hair line fracture, etc. R-i-c-e (rest, ice to the area, use an ace wrap [compression], and keep it elevated). Nsaids may help too and get into see your dr. For an eval if it does not get better. Good luck.
