While swelling is part of this, esp. in the late of day, you can try soaking your foot in epsom salts. I personally did not get much out of pt but it is recommended if you can find one that specializes in rsd.

Welcome to the forum.
Gabapintin seem to work here too for the most part ( thinking it needs to be increased again) I can go about 4 hours before the swelling starts in the legs/feet/ankle and by the time I get home from work I can barely walk some days, I also fined Epsom salts help with the feet and ankles and the feeling that my ankles are in a vice being crushed, as for the feet they feel like there a hard plastic shell covering my feet and every time I step on them its like stepping on thumb tacks and to think 5 months ago this started with a burning sensation in my wrist after a shoulder surgery
