hi
If pain is there in hip also and radiating down the leg, it may not be related to knee surgery but a seperate symptom due to sciatica- a condition related to lower spine and nerves, so I may suggest you to go for another consultation with a neurologist/spine doctor for evaluation with MRI/x rray hip and spine region, as may be advised on physical check up findings
thanks
