hi.

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you were sitting on a floor, the position of the feet must have led to some ligament sprain so you have swelling now. By the application of the ice and keeping the leg elevated should reduce the pain and swelling.
