It could be any of those, or even broken. Once I was sledding and that happened to me and it hurt for months, even when I coughed or sneezed. When I asked the doctor she said that it was probably fractured or broken, because of the coughing and sneezing pain, but there was nothing to do. They can't put you in a but cast, so I had to wait it out, and a few months later, I felt fine. You might as well wait for it to feel better because the doctors won't help you. It's like a broken finger, you pay for a doctor's visit, and they send you home telling you to spend more money on a splint. It's pointless, unless you really feel that you need to go in. =D
I did this when I was about 12 yrs old, if I had know better I would of told my parents and got it checked out but I didn't. I sat at my desk with one foot under my butt so it didn't hurt so much and it turns out it set off a birth defect in my back. I would go get it checked out at least you can get a proper answer to your question and pain killers if you need.
