I have studied your case history.

You may use stocking to reduce swelling of leg.

Active and passive leg exercises. Exercises against resistance will help to increase tone of leg muscles so you can reduce leg swelling.

Medications like furesemide will decrease swelling you can start that consulting your doctor.
