RICE: Rest, ice, elevation, compression. Hopefully your physician gave you some pain medication, but i would take alene or Ibuprofen if not.

Get an x-ray: You will need and x-ray to see if you have a fracture or if it is just a sprain. If fractured, you may need to be immobilized with a splint, cast, or a brace. Have it evaluated by your physician to get the appropriate treatment.
