Hello,

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

You might require an X-ray to look whether the implant misplaced or not.

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