Hello,
It is very rare to have such problems. I think you are having either wrong placement of the implant or infection in the knee joint.I would suggest you to show it to orthopedic surgeon and get it x rayed. If there is wrong implant placement then it can be cured with revision knee surgery. If there is proper size and position of the implant then you can take analgesics and antibiotic for infection. There is no need to repeat surgery then.
