I met with an accident one week back and got hurt in left leg thumb, knee and left hand. From last 3-4 days, the moment I walk my leg starts swelling specially near the ankles.
Doctor has advised me to put pillow beneath my foot while sleeping. It's actually very helpful and by morning there is no swelling.
But the moment i walk, it starts again.
What to do?

Any injury to legs causing swelling is very common. If there's no pain associated with it then there's no cause of worry. It takes some time for swelling to go away, depending on severity of injury sometimes months together. Reappearance of swelling on standing or walking is justified. If you are still worried about it, one can use crepe bandage on leg when standing to control swelling.
