Hello,
What I feel the swelling is occurred due to lack of venous return. Dipping the feel in water and then keeping it elevated over a pillow in lying position should help reduce one. Also, if you are having too much swelling than using Lasix as a medication should help reduce more.
Please let me know if you have any high blood pressure or diabetic symptoms too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
