Hi,
Thanks for contacting. Do hot and cold therapy ( take a bucket of hot water and one with cold water, dip your leg first in hot water for 3 mins then in cold water for one min. Do it 7-10 times, and keep your feet elevated. Don't keep your legs hanging, as it might increase swelling, and do use crepe bandage .
Hope it will help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
