Leg Swelling & Pain: Any advice?

So, I finally took some advice from the pharmacist and picked up some horse chestnut gel. It was actually on sale—buy one, get one free—so I grabbed two. I've been keeping mine in the fridge to get that extra cooling sensation, and honestly, I can't tell if it’s the gel working its magic or just the fact that the weather is finally cooling down, but my leg doesn't ache nearly as much.
