Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist, Jay Indravadan Patel's Response

Hello,

What I feel the swelling is occurred due to lack of venous return. Dipping the feel in water and then keeping it elevated over a pillow in lying position should help reduce one. Also, if you are having too much swelling than using Lasix as a medication should help reduce more.

Please let me know if you have any high blood pressure or diabetic symptoms too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
