Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This may be caused by abnromal static relations after surgery, there may be dislocation of knee prohesis or injury of crural nerves. ALso, planta fasctitis may develop agfter surgery. You should do doppler ultrasound to rule out DVT first and take ibuprofeunum 3x400mg rest and apply ice compresses.

I hope I have answered your question.
Wish you good health. Regards
