Hello
Welcome to HCM
Pain after orthopaedic surgery is a common issue especially after mobilisation. Since you have exceeding amount of pain my recommendation is visiting the operating surgeon and discuss the issues with him/her. If your are not satisfied with their reason follow up with me at HCM with xray images/clinical reports etc. I'll be more than happy to help you.
