Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Knee

I had a heavy chair fall on my leg today on the inside of my knee and it looks like the blood vessel burst or something. I had an instant black and blue mark and quite a bit of swelling. It s still very tender and swollen 6 hours later. Is this something I should have looked at or is there something I can do for it at home?
