How Can Severe Pain In The Knees Be Treated?

I am recovering from a knee replacement surgery done April 2017. I have had considerable pain with it; been through PT, also have done sciatica exercises since I have had that previously and some of my recent pain was similar to that. I am on a probiotic and various supplements for my calcium deficiency, etc. I am getting impatient with recovery.
