hello
I will advise you to consult vascular surgeon and take his opinion.
If vascular surgeon is not available at present, contact local physician and take his opinion.
I will advise you to take rest, foot end elevation while lying down, while walking wear elastic stockings which will decrease the pain and swelling.
I think you understood, take care and get well soon.
