Hello,
This is a painkiller which is not really safe. In my opinion, it is necessary for you to be wearing compression socks to help prevent the leg swelling and pain. In case of pain, I would recommend taking Ibuprofen. Putting your legs in a raised position can help reduce the swelling too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
