Post-Op and swelling

It's been more than 2 months since my knee surgery and I still have swelling.  Some days are better than others but it seems like it takes forever to get the swelling to to down completely.   At my last post-op I was told to keep it wrapped (compressed) and iced.  They didn't mention elevation but I assume that's good too.  However, I let my lifestyle run away from me and I don't spend the time keeping the knee iced or elevated.  Randomly iced, rarely elevated.  I do keep it wrapped and compressed.  I have avoided ibuprofen as I think it's a little hard on the system to take it consistently so I've tried resorting to turmeric.  I was told to take it daily but I resort to throwing it on my food randomly.  I'm a little too random with my treatments and suffering the ongoing swelling.  Otherwise I'm recovering nicely.
