Swelling appears to be part of RSD and it is one of the symptoms. More RSD academic people can probaly explain why - all I know is it can be very annoying! pitting oedema is not a good look! (I'm 21). Welcome!! I guess the basic way to get swelling down is exercise as the muscles pump the fluid back up the lymph system. Also, when you lie down have your leg elevated and ensure that you don't sit with your leg down for a long time. I think that it's tightening and loosening the calf which is good for reducing swelling as it pushes the oedema back up the veins or something. Another member here, In His Hands (IHH) wears oedema stockings.

Hope you get the help you are looking for!
