I went through the same thing with Darci not long ago.
It was a pulled muscle, they vet gave her rimadyl and crate rest for 5 days.
She too when in her crate and coming out for potty breaks would be so stiff and limping very bad and then after a few minutes of moving around would not limp as much.

After about 4 days of this she was fine.

Xrays only show bone so if its a pulled ligament or torn cartlidge it wont show up.

IMHO I would give it a few days and she how she does.

Did they give her any medications?

I also used an ice pack on Darci, I would hold it on the muscles of her front leg for about 10 minutes 4 times a day for 1 day.
