It's not filariasis. Swelling is due accumulation of fluid due to injury. Treat for the same.

Ligament injury also cause swelling of leg which ends 3 to 4 month. Ligament is a fibre which joints two bones. Ligament repair in 2 to 3 month. No you should not go for filariasis treatment.

Pain and swelling is most probably due to soft tissue injury details of which may be detected precisely by MRI.
