I think you have misunderstood the purpose of your treatment. The swelling is just a cosmetic problem. The treatment being given is to prevent any further progression or recurrence of your dvt. Dvt can be life threatening if the clot dislodges from the lung and reaches the lung vessels where it can block blood supply causing pulmonary embolism which is life threatening. That is the whole purpose of the treatment. The swelling is going to remain. It will not cause you any physical harm. You have to adjust to it.
