I banged my right knee accidentally in the sink while trying to wash my feet. Help?

I am probably the luckiest person in the world. I banged my right knee hard into the sink accidentally. It was painful. Then I had little pain and walking difficulty. I am trying the price therapy. The only thing I haven't tried is to ice my knee. I haven't got ice in my house.

I can't make it to doctors. This morning when i woke up it was painful. I need help. Its not very painful as I can walk. but I don't know what to do. There is no swelling or anything. Just a little pain it goes from knee to up and down the leg to the feet sometimes. Anyone please advice me. As I said I can't make it to doctors. This happened yesterday and since I am doing the therapy except the ice thing.

I am also using cane. I sleep in the floor. So things are circumstances are difficult for me. I am taking calcium and b12 tablets. Can it heal by itself or do I need to make it to the doctors?

Update:

I am 20 years old

Update 2:

I am Unluckiest person in the world I meant not the luckest

    Okay you NEED a doctor. Call them! It could be fractured. And icing is the absolute most important!!!! You need it! Use ice! Ice pack! Popsickle! If it starts swelling you're in for more pain so cool that knee down and talk to your doctor. Try to apply some pressure around it and don't try to overuse it at all. I really hope it's not fractured or anything. Careful!
