Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Foot And Leg After Hip Replacement Surgery

I had a partial hip replacement after falling down. My foot and leg is still swollen after 6 weeks after surgery. I had the ultra sound after I came home from the hospital which ruled out a blood clot. Other than raising my leg at night and once during the day, is there anything else I can do for the swelling
