thats due to post radiation fibrosis. you need to visit your primary radiation oncologist this condition . in the mean while physiotherapy of involved limb and limb raising can help. edema happens due to gravity.
for proper management need to be visited by your family physician at first

Keep legs elevated,
apply crepe bandage
Book consultation via video call in marham for me
it's unilateral Edema on left side side which is getting worse
regardless of underlying cause thrombosis should be ruled out in this case otherwise it could lead to Pulmonary Embolism or some other worse complication
take Opinion as A Person
plan for Doppler Ultrasound if advised by Doctor
I mean time take Pain killer
I highly appreciate your concern, your swelling in your one leg could be because of some reasons
we need to see your legs by Online video consulation and evaluate by taking history
the reason behind it could be
Immbolization

don't use any medicine by ur own. consult ur primary Oncologist. he knows the disease stage, treatment details like how many Grays were given and how much area was radiationed. did he use IMRT, 3DCRT or some 2D. AMD when treatment got completed . AMD also is edema due to radiation fibrosis , disease recurrence, lymphadenopathy or due to some other reason. go to your primary oncologist. he will decide after examination what should be done and what tests should be done.
