Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Knee With IVC Filter

Whats your view on removal of a IVC filter from a 27 year old male in great health but suffers from ankle swelling because of the IVC filter. Was in a traumatic accident 6 years ago and because of my families history they were scared of blood clots. 6 years later my only symptom is ankle swelling whenever I m standing for more than 6 hours. It goes away when laying down after about 45 minutes.
