I agree with above.  No quick cure.  Just ice, anti-inflammatories and rest.  With college season coming up, no reason to chance it.  I will say, for a broken bone, X-rays are the best.  MRIs pick up soft tissue, X-rays pick up bone.  If you think there is ligament or muscle damage, get an MRI.  If you think it is broken, go with the X-rays.  I will agree with picked off though in that just because X-rays were negative, doesn't necessarily mean it isn't broken.  Could be broken in a tough angle for the X-ray to see.  Or maybe the doctor just didn't look close enough.  If you have doubts, get a second opinion.  Let the new doctor look at the X-rays already taken.  Maybe he will pick up something the other doctor didn't see, or maybe he'll want to take them from a different angle.

 

Either way, if it still hurts, back off.  Not worth risking college ball in the fall.  Good luck.
