Welcome to HCM.
Swelling indicates some soft tissue injury inside.
Ice application is helpful up to 2 to 3 days.
You have to start nsaid with serratiopeptidase.
Intra muscular injections of nsaid will be helpful for fast recovery.
Otherwise avoid extra weight bearing on it.
Keep your leg raised as much as possible.
Apply elasto bandage (4 inch) during movement.
Consult your family physician for medical management.
