Damage to any of the lymphatic passages encasing your bones/ligaments, etc can cause recurring problems with swelling, fluid retention and numbness. Try using compression stockings to prevent swelling, and wear footwear that is looser to avoid too much pressure on the foot. Massage and heat can help to move the lymphatic drainage towards your heart.
