Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Knee

My left knee is swollen and hurts really bad. I have torn my meniscus and cartilage in it before I also have torn my Achilles tendon in that leg but those injuries happened years ago. I did a lot of lifting at work today and walking back and forth but this has never happened before.
