Answer
The best way to manage swelling is to follow the R.I.C.E. principle: Rest your leg, apply Ice packs for 15-20 minutes at a time, use Compression bandages as advised, and elevate your leg above your heart. This is a core part of the post-operative instructions our care team at SCI Hospital provides to all our patients for a smoother recovery.
