There are many self-care options you can try.  You might consider applying a heating pad to your knee, or resting your knee while keeping it elevated.  But please talk to your doctor to be sure, and take care to avoid getting burns from the heating pad or further injury from keeping your leg up!

I don't have "my doctor". I take care of myself.

OK, the best thing to do for an injury is to rest and reduce the impact on the injured area. This usually works well. If your knee is very painful, or if your leg has stopped moving, you should see a doctor. In most cases, doctors can prescribe a medicine to help with pain and swelling.

Should I use ice or heat on it?
