R rest- stay off of it. Crutches!
I ice- I kept cold packs on mine for several hours after an initial injury
C compression. forces the swelling (fluid) out , aids in faster recovery. Ace wrap it
E elevation. Helps get the excess fluid out of the knee joint compartment and
into the lymphatics.

Do this for about 7 days depending on the severity of the injury. Tumeric helps with the swelling too.

@TexChik thank you. I have turmeric most days anyway but will do the rest too. Need to be up and on it by Tuesday so wish me speedy luck!
