How To Relieve Pain In Ankle Upto Knee After Possible Sprain?

I believe I mildly sprained my ankle. It hurts to walk on it and now the pain is shooting up my shine to my knee. From my ankle to my knee it feels hot, swollen and painful. I am not sure if it more than a sprain. I banged my shin pretty good a week ago....and it was sore.
