i would at least get an xray as dd only held leg up for one day and sounds like yours is longer -- she did have a relapse for one day and then held up for a few hours and back down again -- you want to make sure not break or fracture as a break is really painful but fracture is not unless putting pressure on it -- i did the xrays on second day mid day as wanted to make sure neither of those -- if you want just pain med do tramadol as narcotics are much safer than nsaids and dd reacted to metacam so i do not like nsaids
