Hi,
You should elevate your legs on a pillow and employ a low salt diet. Your lasix dose may need to be increased by your doctor. The cause of your leg swelling needs to be identified that is heart disease, kidney disease, lymphatic cause.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
