Suggest Treatment For Swollen Legs And Ankles

I had percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery about a month ago. I recently started a new job that is VERY physical. It involves heavy lifting, running, and jumping on and off a riding pallet jack. My legs and ankles really swollen. My hands also gi numb. I forgot to mention I work in the freezer. Is this just an effect from the physicality of my job or a complication from the surgery?
