Quality reply!!

Seriously though, elevate it so that your foot is above your bum and put an ice pack on it. Make sure that the ice pack is wrapped in a towel or sommat like that otherwise you'll get frost burn or whatever you call it. And only leave the ice on for 10 mins at a time

Elevate it and ice packs. You shouldn't really play on it as you may aggravate any damage and make things worse
