Keep your leg elevated as much as possible and keep applying ice to it. Stay off of your feet as much as possible.

cold ice packs...make sure there's a barrier like a towel inbetween the skin and the ice. try to stay off it more, the more your agravate it the longer and harder it's going to be to have it heal...

The first thing you need to do is ICE. Ice on for 15 minutes, ice off for 15 minutes. Never apply heat to onset of injury for at least 72 hours. After 72 hours, you can alternate heat and ice. I find that frozen peas really conform to the injured area quite well and they work great!Stay off your knee and keep it elevated. Keep a pillow underneath it when you sleep if possible. Injuries will only get worse if you strain them more. The more you move, the more you'll tear the tissue surrounding the knee. Hope that helps:o)

its going to sound weird.but it works. what you need to do is take vegetable oil (any one will do) and spread it on your knee.then get a wash cloth and put it under hot water...take the washcloth and place it on your knee.keep it on until it gets cold...place it under hot water again ( remember to drain it out)...repeat this for 1/2 hour..it should lower the swelling

ice it for about 15-30 minutes a day and then heat it if you want its your choice. Keep your knee above your heart as much as possible don't put any weight on it or do anything that causes it pain.Once the swelling goes down then if can if you want to try to walk on it but if it still hurts to walk I would stop or do not do it very often.But you still want to excercise it and stretch it or it will take longer to heal you have to feel pain before you feel relief hope I helped.
