Answers:

Ya should have put ice on it right away to help keep down the bruising and swelling. Rest it by staying off it as much as possible. Elevate it on a foot stool and put cold packs on it. If you don't have an ice pack(soft kind) ya can use a bag of frozen veggies. Peas work great. If not any better, or it gets worse in a couple days then see Dr. If ya have insurance to cover it can go in today just to be sure.
