Hi there!

Well without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the issue in your case. Likely possibilities include fracture non-union/ mal-union, muscle/ nerve damage, inflammations, degenerations etc. I would suggest an evaluation by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
