Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
Yes it can be a side effect of the medication. It takes more time for the swelling to go dow. You need to keep the legs elevated above the heart level most of the time and wear elastic stocking and move your toes all the time to increase blood circulation.
Wish you quick recovery.
