Tethered spinal cord and leg swelling

Hi guys was hoping if anyone had advice?
I have had two operations for tethered spinal cord and a removal of a bony spur.

Although i am still in some pain i have noticed my feet have swollen and angles and are hurting and pain seems to travel up the leg.

Anyone know best way to get the swelling down ?

Hi,
I have not had surger for tethered cord yet, but the best way to reduce swelling of the feet would be compression stockings, and propping them up.....do talk to your Dr to find out if compression stockings are right for you.....

Keep us posted on your progress.
