Hello,
It looks from your details that you had a very old injury and you are suffering from swelling after injury. You should do following to have relief:
- Apply a compression bandage from below upwards from foot to leg.
- Keep your limb elevated on a pillow whenever you are in a position of rest.
- Take a good analgesic like aceclofenac for relief of pain for only a short period of time (3-5 days).
- Do contrast bath. You may take help for this from your physiotherapist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
