Hello, Filarial lymphedema is a curable condition and occurs due to parasitic infection. if untreated it can lead to complications in the vascular supply and also lead to easy infection. Since it s curable by the medical treatment you can contact the vascular surgeon for the same. Post having a clinical examination he can be treated with medication for the same. using lower limb stocking can help reduce the swelling and keeping it elevated over a pillow. Manage the water intake and output so the swelling doesn t occur much and also avoid the cardiac overload. simple ankle toe movement s with straight leg raise will even be helpful to rescue the swelling. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
