Advice would be to see doc! May prescribe anti-inflammatory to ease swelling. Could have pulled tendon without realising - it is easy done. Suggest you see doc anyway rather than suffering and maybe make it worse.

I have no idea of your age, or existing medical condions e.g. psoriasis, but the is could be the onset of an arthritic condition, so go to your GP for investigation.

In direct answer to your question,the advice of jukie is excellent.
