Hello
I have read your query.
There is possibility of venous obstruction leading to edema over leg.
This obstruction can be due to surgery.
I will advise you lymphangiography ,colour doppler.
Till time you can take enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin to reduce swelling.
I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
