Suggest Remedy For Swollen Knee And Pain When Fully Extended

I fell a few weeks ago and landed in the hurlers stretch position. I had significant bruising that went away and I now have very little bruising now. 2 days ago my knee was popping while I was just putting my feet into a pool and swinging them back and forth. Today it is swollen and it hurts to fully extend or bend my knee.
