    R--Rest
    I--Ice
    C--Compress
    E--Elevate

    This is after confirming it is not something more serious.

    RICE until the full extent of the damage is known.
    If it's completely blown out, reconstructive surgery may well be the only answer. And don't count on ever regaining its former strength or flexibility. Happens to Australian footballers with disappointing regularity, the MIGHTY Adelaide Crows lost our captain for the season, torn ACL.
