Have you tried those really long, tight socks (Compressive stockings)? I have some for when i fly b/c you don't move much and i'm afraid of a blood cloth that could kill me. I'm sure that and elevating it often would help some with the swelling.
Sorry you have to go through that

make sure you to periodic walking.. even if you have a desk job! Also do the ABC's with your ankles throughout the day and point and flex your toes.. make sure you don't let the blood in your legs get sluggish! It's also a really awesome thing you decided to change your lifestyle now! Eating healthy reduces your risk and may be able to correct anything bad. message me if you have any ?'s :bigsmile:
