Hi,
It might be a postoperative inflammation. As a first line management you can take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Generally the symptoms will settle in couple of days. If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. In that case an MRI scan might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
