Get thoroughly heeled and do not risk further injury. There is always time to do legs in the future.

As you stated, your health and safety in your priority.

I used to lift real stupid HEAVY back in my late teenage years and early 20s. When i got injuries in my upper body, i did lower body, and vice versa.

Focus on your upper body while letting your legs heal bro. I noticed that sending the blood to the upper body when i had leg trauma/bruising & swelling, seemed to alleviate the bruising and swelling in my lower body hence helping the healing process in the lower body while focusing  and growing the upper. 

Use alot of the joint supplements and obviously the heating & cooling pads on your injury - goal being heal fast!!
