Good morning - I am sorry you have a new pain - just when you thought things were going so well! I agree the @bonniethompson1234 and @artscaping that you should at least make contact with the doctor to rule out anything that needs immediate attention.
My fear is that if you only rest, ice and elevate for a week, you may prolong your recovery. At the very least, you would lose a lot of forward progress. And remember, if you make an appointment today, it will likely be a week or two before you can be seen, so if you feel better by then, you can always cancel it. If you are still suffering, you will likely have to wait another week or more...
Good luck.
Sue
