Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Post injury swelling could be indicative of soft tissue injuries and if it is chronic one then it may be due to circulatory disturbances, venous lesion need to be ruled out, it could be limbic system too there could be some block somewhere in circulatory system, compression brace can be tied, or get done the complete evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtar Husain
