Swollen leg – no pain

I injured a calf muscle recently , it was severe but after a few days the pain eased and has just about disappeared entirely however my leg has remained swollen , its particulary evident in the ankle & foot area. I’ve been icing it down and have also
let it soak in cold water. Does anyone have any ideas what else I could do before I end up buying shoes 3 sizes larger

    Use a compression wrap (ACE) or stocking. Keep up the icing and elevating the leg. It may take time for the swelling to diminish.
