Thank you for sharing your update. It’s good to hear that you are able to do daily activities now. The swelling and pain Post cast or common and usually due to VATA and KAPHA cumulation in that area. You can apply warm Mahanarayana taila and gently massage it Don’t massage with too much pressure or very forcibly You can show your leg in warm water with rock salt for about 10 to 15 minutes Do physiotherapy and light exercise exercises according to your comfort You can take Dashamoola kwath-1 teaspoon in 400 ML water, boil until treatments, hundred ML filter and drink twice daily on empty stomach Lakshadi guggulu-one tablet twice daily after food with warm water
