i'm not saying this is your problem but for me.....when i had a lot of edema in my foot/ankle i also had a lot of pain. i tried a few things that helped me:

1. raising leg up like in a recliner.
2. ice on & off thru the day
3. using my compression hose. this really helped prevent further swelling &
also helped diffuse the swelling. they don't have to be tight. you can get
several type degrees of compression. or, even try an ace bandage.
use on & off & don't make it too tight.
4. i put a pillow under my feet/legs & that helps too.

hope this might help
