I have studied your case and I think this pain and swelling will take some time to go. You are doing right thing by applying ice and limb elevation.I would also like to add you that you should apply compression bandage or stocking to leg.
Special drugs in this condition is chymorol forte or trypsin. Thsese drugs reduced swelling very rapidly. thrombofobe ointment can be applied to the inflamed site.I hope these steps will be helpful in reducing pain and swelling in your case. if it is not completely reduced than I would recommend you to get a Doppler examination to make sure that your vessels are completely obstruction free.
thanks
