What Do You Suggest For Severe Pain In My Leg After A Partial Knee Replacement?

I had a partial knee replacement 2 months ago. I have pain in the back of my leg behind my knee. This is most severe after i have my leg bent for a period , as in riding in a car or sitting, and then try to stand and straighten the leg out. It can be very painful when I first stand, and takes minutes before I can walk on it.
