Answer
It is difficult to give you a precise answer without a proper exam.  There could be a couple of problems, first and foremost, is it fractured, have you had an xray on it.  That should be you first step if you haven't done that already.  If you have and the xrays are negative for fracture, I would see a chiropractor.  You most likely have a structural imbalance causing muscle spasm and inflammation.  I am a member of a group of chiropractors located all over the U.S. and would trust any one of them with my own family.  If you are interested and would like to know more and maybe locate a doctor near you, go to www.sorsi.com.  I am located in St. Paul, Minnesota and would be more than happy to see you.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please email me.
