sore knee cap

My husband was playing softball and he tripped over the base and fell directly on his knee cap while running.
He weighs 260 lbs. so it was a lot of weight directly hitting it.
I put ice on it when we got home.
It’s not as painful today until he gets up or sits down.
Should I continue ice on it or should I use heat?

    Use ice until most if not all of the pain has resolved. See your physician if it lasts for more than 1 week. An ace wrap can help during the day.
