Suggest Remedies For Swollen Right Calf

I have swelling in the right calf and it is hard. I have had this problem since April 4. There was a blood clot, but it is gone due to Xeltro. But the swelling remains. After another ultra sound and MRI they said it was a baker s cycst. The ortho doctor tried to drain it, but all he got was blood. It is still swollen and hard. What am I to do?
