Suggest Treatment For Bruising On Knee Along With Swelling After Injury

I recently fell on my knee cap with all of my weight on it. I was ice skating and my skate got stuck in a small hole in the ice and I flew forward. I smacked my knee off the ice really hard and felt a pop in my knee when I stood up. It hurt to skate off the rink I limped my way out. I didn t have a chance to look at it till I got home. As soon as I got home I looked at it and it was swelling and bruising I immediately put an ice pack on it. The swelling went down a little bit but the bruising was still there, I can walk on it a little but it hurts and I have to bite my tongue. I can bend it but every time I do I m on the verge of tears what is going on?
