Answers:
You are not giving it a chance to heal and it will likely get worse if you continue!. As an athlete you should be familiar with RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, elevation) this will help to control inflammation!. Also you can start gently stretching it to improve your range of motion but don't overdo it!. You might also find massaging the area helpful!. If this doesn't make it any better you should go see a doctor to make sure there isn't any major tissue damage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
