General & Family Physician,  's  Response
You have increasing pain in lower leg post kjr surgery and your recovery is fine. Your pain in leg is not due to knee replacement surgery . YOU have developed scitica due to disc prolapse.Because of knee surgery some how because of imbalance your disc has prolapsed. Please have an xray of lumbosacral region. If i have to treat such a patient i will advice Tab diclofenac , peracetamol MR cap Tramadol all three times a day, cap B complex three times a day .Hard bed rest. Have physiotherapy.
