Pain, swelling..: Decreased motion. If there is no obvious deformity/ severe bleeding then start w/ rest, ice, compression, & elevation. You may splint the area, & take an otc antiinflammatory/ pain reliever if you don't have any contraindicated medical conditions. You should plan to have an x-ray to make sure there are no fractures that will heal incorrectly. If there is obvious deformity = urgent care.
