First use ice pack.. morning, afternoon and evening... Second put crepe bandage...if it is very difficult to put your self...take help of any of your family member or a nurse Third put your leg in an elevated position and avoid walking This way you will be able to reduce the swelling... Go for physiotherapy session for ultrasound that will be beneficial for the healing of the injury
