Hi,
If injury was some years before and you were normal in between then chances of that knee injury causing pain this time is less likely. If pain is occasional and not interfering with your daily activities you should not worry. Please avoid activities which are leading to pain. Scar should not be purple but white. If there is recent change is scar you need to visit surgeon for detailed clinical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
