Hello,
The knee pain that has not improved after surgery can be due to arthritic changes in the knee joint. The pain can be helped by taking joint lubricant supplements along with pain killers after consulting your orthopedic surgeon and start with physiotherapy exercise to help reduce the stiffness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
