exercise with a sore knee?

BeautyFromPain

Today I slipped and fell at work, my knee is massively swollen and cannot bend it without pain.

I would do weights but did a massive weights session yesterday... Is there anything else I could do?

I agree with this, of course it comes down to the severity of the injury but you don't want to make it worse by doing anything strenuous. If you could do some light exercise (and the GP has okayed it), try walking slowly with the treadmill on an incline. Elliptical trainer can injure the knees I've found, even though it's meant to be easier, I sometimes get pain in my knees from a lot of elliptical use.

My orthopedist told me never to use an incline with bad knees, thought I'd pass it along.
