Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling of feet and legs is due to0 standing on a ladder for long hours. The pain in the knees can be due to osteoarthritis.
It is best to take rest ad avoid being on your feet fro long hours. Do consult your cardiologist and get the cardiac causes of swelling ruled out. Take a mild pain killer and calcium supplements for your knees.
I hope this answers your query.
