hi,

thanks for briefing your history. if you have persistent swelling of the feet than you need to check with vascular surgeon and get your vasculature checked. this can be done by Doppler scan. it will help to look into the veins and arteries to see any possible blockage for swelling. along with this you can try doing hy water fermentation and do ankle toe movements as well which will help reduce swelling. after hot water fermentation I recommend to keep the leg above the level of heart over the pillow to drain the metabolics. Also an x-ray if guided to be taken for any possible old fracture if any Present.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
