Default RSD - swelling not going down

Hi all - its Alison here again,
I was just wondering whether any one can recommend any medication that can reduce swelling.
I have had swelling in my right leg for about 2 months now, is this usual in RSD? Is it something I should be worried about? or is it just RSD playing another trick on me?
When my consultant first saw my swelling he admitted me into hospital to be tested for compartment syndrome and DVT. The tests came back negative however it did show that I had muscle swelling and swelling around the muscles.
I have been taking Ibuprofen which is not helping me, my mums ordered grape seed extract for me to try, but I was wondering if there is anything else I could try as well.
Please write back
Many thanks
Alison
Pain free hugs.
