Leg elevation
Another simple way to alleviate your leg pain is to elevate your leg to prevent swelling from developing. Most injuries in the bones, ligaments, and muscles often result in inflammation, which might collect in the lower leg and cause more discomfort or issues with walking. Thus, elevate with a footstool while sitting or use extra pillows when you are lying in bed or on the couch. Raising your painful leg above the heart’s level can be helpful, though it can be difficult when sitting. In most cases, lying flat on the back with your elevated back is probably the most comfortable and easiest position. [3]
