Brief Answer:
Normal issue. Rest and elevate the leg

Detailed Answer:
This is a fairly common issue. Not to worry. Make sure you are wearing good fitting shoes when you walk for long distances. Elevate you legs when you sit if you can and if this does not help. Then you can go to the local pharmacy and buy "epsom Salt" and soak your feet in hot water with the salt added, will bring down the swelling quickly. Hope this helps.
