My suggestion is you need to be on long acting anticoagulants life long with periodic evaluation of coagulation profile including inr, and get dosage adjusted by treating doctor. Regarding swelling of affected limb i'm afraid it is bound to be there as when dvt sets in the vein wall also gets damaged though it may get recanalized over a period of time, there may be associated lymphedema, you may require long term physiotherapy & regular exercises, change in life style and dietary changes etc.
