From samantha Doctor: Hi SamanthaHope this message finds you in good health.I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.U seem to have a soft tissue swelling or a ligament inflammation that might be causing the pain.U should get an Xray done to find out the exact cause.Hot fomentation,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help. A shot of local steroid injection should be useful.Nothing to worry about.     I hope your question has been answered.If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.Thanks,Take care,God bless.
