Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Check the renal function test and sugar level in blood and urine. If you are having pedal edema, take proton diet. And apply creap bandage during the daytime and leg elevation by 2 pillows at night times.

Hope this clarifies your concern. Thank you for the query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Roshan, Orthopaedic Surgeon
