What Is The Suggestion For Fast Relief From Knee Pain After A Fall?

Hello, this past Monday I went to a weight loss bootcamp for the first time. I am female 5'2 and weigh 229lbs. While running I lost my balance and fell hard landing on my left knee. I left pain but I completed my workout while in pain. My knee was scraped and swollen and hurt when I walk. I have kept my knee iced and elevated since then and the swelling is getting better and the pain isn't as bad but can't seem to place my full weight on it. Because of my weight and injury, when will I be able to return to the bootcamp and attempt knee push ups and strenous exercise? Thanks for your help.
