You could try "hot and cold water therapy." First run really hot water over your leg for roughly 2-3 minutes, then right after run the coldest water possible again for 2-3 minutes. Repeat 5-10 times. The cold will be really intense at first but I promise you'll have good results. It just increases circulation and all around makes you feel good.

You've got a week to recover, you will be fine. Hot/Colding its a good idea, A535 cream works really good to. Also move it around as much as possible, if you don't it will just seize up.

Sounds like a ligament strain to me. I'm not trying to discourage you but there's probably some light tearing or bad bruising somewhere in there. Are you able to put side pressure on your knee at all? If not It's probably a MCL or FCL thing. Do you have any sensitive spots around your knee cap? If so it could be meniscus or ACL bruising.Just don't over exercies it. Too much exercice can cause excess blood flow and make the bruising worst. I suggest you pick up a good support brace if it doen't improvein the next few days. Make sure it's not a cheap one (>70$). Look for decent aluminnium or fiber support.
