Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
For this type of surgery, it is normal to have swelling until 1 year after surgery until the blood circulation is restored again.
I would suggest you to be patient and keep on by using ice every night and elevation of the leg with pillow. This is a normal situation.
Wish you quick recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin SelmanI
