Hi, the best way that we deal with swelling is my daughter's exercise physiologist manually reduces swelling with his hands. It works phenomenally well. Many massage therapists and physical therapists know how to do this if they are able and willing to take the time to do it. She could never function as well as she does without this help. She also wears CROCS with no socks at all times and this has reduced her pain by not putting socks or shoes on that touch her feet. We did find CROCS with arch support on line. She has to wear the traditional ones, none of the fancy CROCS since they often touch the sides of her feet. I wish you all the best. My daughter has reduced pain and is much happier. She still struggles but it is manageable.
