Hi lybrate-user if it's stiff joint go ahead with ice application as it's best up to 48 hours post injury. Than can apply hot water bag afterwards post 48 hrs. Crepe bandage application is good as it provides stability. Start doing some leg exercises to get relief from Lev stiffness. Regards.

Hi there I would suggest you to go to an orthopedic doctor just in case if there can be a hairline fracture or muscle injury as you r having difficulty in walking. And yes you can use hot water fermentation at home or applying cold pack several times its day would be more beneficial till 48 hours after injury.
