Suggest Treatment For Swelling In My Knee

I fell while riding my bike, I punctured my knee, and a couple inches below my knee I had a large area of swelling. It has decreased, now it is bruising and my ankle is swollen. I can walk and have been taking ibuprofen and icing it. Its tender to touch and my toes will tingle
