Hello,
Such pain may arise due to infection, inflammation or loosening of the implant. Visit ER & have a follow up examination done to get confirmed about the factor causing such discomfort. You may need to get a knee cap (patellofemoral) problem, or alignment problem to get fixed.
If needed get Blood tests & Imaging tests done. Get evaluated get treated at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
