1-2 weeks: Try icing and bracing with antiinflammatory medication unless you have a heart condition or severe high blood pressure. If pain and swelling continue, seek an appointment for evaluation with possible imaging for pathology. Hope that helps.

10 days: If it doesn't resolve by then i would get it checked. If pain is involved i would get it checked now.
