Suggest Remedy For Tender And Swollen Thigh

I had a total hip replacement 3 weeks ago. Currently, I am walking independently, although with a noticeable limp. I am getting around, going to stores, driving, and next week back to work. The outer thigh of my leg is quite tender and swollen. Is this normal? Besides ice pack, is there anything else I should be doing?
