Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Well, you are supposed to manage.. You should be under a care of a Doctor. Go for thorough investigations.
Color doppler of both limbs. Varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.
Ultrasonography of the inguinal regions for lymph nodes.
Possibility of filariasis- by blood tests.
investigations for lymphangitis.

You can ::
Keep the lower limbs in elevated position in lying down position. The ankles should be above the heart level for the edema to drain naturally. This is the most effective way.
Follow the instructions and medicines as pr the final diagnosis.
