I have broken bones,sprained ankles, and torn cartilage.
1) Ice it for 15 minutes at a time
2) Take as many Advil as you can (it keeps the swelling down and increases circulation
3) Most athletes have a Sling from past injuries but if you don't have one just try and stay in one place because the more you move the more irritated it will become.
Good luck I hope you feel better ;)

Ice it, take ibuproffen for pain and swelling and get an x-ray asap
