Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to knee replacement intervention.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

If the symptoms continue I suggest seeing an orthopedist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
