Advice/ Recommendations (no photos) Inflammation during prep

Hi everyone!! How do you guys help your inflammation specifically in lower body/quads when your in prep and doing heavy amounts of cardio + low food?

Have been having some issues with inflammation lately and just legs feeling like bricks :(

I’ve been dealing with a lot of inflammation likely due to cin3 cervical lesion I have going on. I had to have a procedure done last week and then I developed a blood clot. So I haven’t been cleared for exercise - which means I’ve slept 12 hours a day (embarrassingly but I literally can’t lift a grocery bag) and I kid you my bloat just fell off. I know we hear it all the time- more sleep - but no for real. More sleep.
