Paya soup helps in healing the injury of the ligament and bones, so you can continue taking this as per your taste. But to get rid from the pain you have to follow some instructions:
1. As you have under gone surgery 4 months back, you are not allow to do hard exercises that put pressure on knee joint. You can Climb stairs but with proper care that your knee cannot feel pressure.
2. Do regular exercise as per direction of your physiotherapist to get strength to your knee joint.
3. You may continue physiotherapy like wax bath if your doctor advise you.
4. Do hot fermentation of the knee twice a day.
5. Can take analgesic drugs and apply local gel at the site to reduce pain.
6. Wear a knee cap or brace while walking or climbing stairs. This will give stability to your joint.

Feel free to consult your treating doctor if your pain persists. He will guide you better as he known your injury well and the other measures he can take to get relief.
