Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

I have sprained my knee a week ago, trying to stay off it as much as I can. I have my knee strapped up. I am able to hobble around the house without crutches but my calf muscle is quite sore now. But my knee doesn t hurt much at all, only when I step on it the wrong way then it s very painful. When I sit down and put my leg up my foot gets very cold. I have taken the strap of while I sit here by my foot still very cold. Is this normal
