Brief Answer:
IPCD and Compression stockings will help to relieve this kind of edema.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
I have carefully gone through all your uploaded images.
The cause of edema of the leg in your case is directly related to the lymph node removal post surgery for cancer.
This edema is referred to as lymphedema.
Oral medications are usually not effective.
The best way to treat this is by using intermittent pneumatic compression device IPCD-called Lymphapress.
This should be used 3 times a day for at least 3 months.
While travelling you can use compression stockings.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
