    You could have broken a bone. I would go to A&E or your doctor to have it checked out.

      Sorry I misunderstood. I apologise. However I think you should see your GP. As a nurse I know it could be one of a few things eg. an infection in the joint. I've never heard of soaking a joint in Epsom salts and don't know how this would help.
