Umm, for now, put it on ice to try and bring the swelling down. Move it as little as possible. I'd suggest going in to a doctor regardless of how minor you think it is. Often it doesn't seem too serious, but it really is.

One of my teachers used to play soccer and got kicked in the thigh. He went home and thought nothing of it, just a bruise. Turns out he had internal bleeding and couldn'd feel his leg the next day. He got a friend or relative to take him to the hospital. The doctors told him he was lucky to be alive with how much blood he lost.

Not to say that you're in the same situation, but just saying don't take chances.
