Keep your leg: Elevated as well as much as possible. This is not uncommon. How long it will last may also depend on what type of surgery you had which you did not specify.

Swelling: While i agree with the other doc's , you said your surgery was in 2012. That is 16 months ago. Your swelling may not go away as it may be something called brawny edema and is more fibrous in nature. See your surgeon and good luck.
