Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi
It's okay to seek a fresh opinion with latest x-rays and MRI for evaluation..
This will show position of implants,bone condition etc and necessity if any for some additional treatment.
4 years on if knee pains are existing, it could be adjoining bone or tissues issues which should be assessed.
Take Tylenol for pain and avoid overstrain at work
