How Can Pain And Swelling In The Knees Be Treated?

I have loose patellas and I wear knee braces and the other day my knee cap went out in the brace but not completely. Normally after 24 hours I am fine but it has been 4 days now and my knee is still swollen and causing pain and I can feel it shift sometimes when I walk.
