Hello!

I would want you to take NSAIDs for couple of days and also use ice packs  to decrease the pain and inflammation.
Some amount of pain is common after manipulation.

If your symptoms continue then you would need to follow up with your orthopedic surgeon for ruling out any complications.

Take care!
