I was wondering if I should go to a doctor to be sure or just put some ice on it and not lean on it?

Hello ma'am, I agree with you that a consultation is necessary to evaluate the extent of the injury, for example a doctor or a physiotherapist. Most group insurance plans cover this type of service.

I also suggest applying ice in a wet towel for 10 to 15 minutes as often as desired during the day.

Sincerely,
