Dont skate. if you have a bicycle i would suggest taking that for a slow paced, relaxed ride. If you stay off of it too much its gonna get too stiff.

same thang happened to me.  I really like using bags of frozen peas and carrots for icing.  It molds to whatever you need it too and its really cheap and lasts forever.  Make sure you only do it for 10 to 15 minutes at a time if you don't use any cloth between you and the bag.

Ice, ice, and more ice. Keep it elevated.

exterior knee  injuries usually lead to interior injuries, dont skate, ice, stay in shape.
