You should sleep with raised legs under pillows etc, diuretics for swelling to come down. Allopathy drugs (diuretics) will cause potassium loss too as a side effect.

Punarnava (Spreading hogwood) is one herb which is excellent diuretic. It doesn't cause potassium loss too. Many preparations like Punarnavadi Guggul , Punarnavarishta liquid are helpful. These will reduce pain and inflammation also.

Absolutely safe, no side effects. But slow being non synthetic, natural.

Challenge is to find the herbal powder, guggul out of India. However one can get on net or we may help also.

Hope it helps you.
