Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that you will be fine soon as knee replacement is very successful surgery. I would recommend you to take a new x rays of the knee joint and show it to a knee replacement specialist. if there is any wrong placement of implant then it can be diagnosed with this.
Some time there can be clot in calf and that can cause such pain so for this you need to get examined by a doctor.
Also take calcium and vitamin d regularly. I hope this will solve your problem. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
