Hi, Welcome to Health care magic form.
you had surgery for liposarcoma, still you are having the intermittent swelling.
Stockings may be necessory till you get complete relief of the swelling. You can remove the stocking during night, it may facilitate the swelling to come down.
To avoid the frequent swelling of the leg avoid the pain killers as far as possible, especially the N.S.A.I.D.S.,steroids if using in excess.
Take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
