Hello,

Pain after knee replacement surgery is commonly due to loosening of the implant, knee cap problem, Alignment problems but sometimes it can occur due to infection.

You need a follow up physical examination & treatment if required. Report to your surgeon without delay, you may require repeat lab tests & radiology studies.

Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the pathology detected. It can be treated either with medications & physiotherapy or surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
