Brief Answer:
Keep the feet elevated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You can use a soft sole shoe even if it is not tennis shoes. Shoe inserts is a good option. You also need to keep your feet elevated on two pillows while resting. Wearing stockings will also help in maintaining the circulation of the legs and will decrease the swelling.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
