Yes: A person with worsening pain every day, 5 weeks after joint surgery, is probably very worried about it... and should see the surgeon again. If not getting good results, she can see another orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion. Imaging studies may be needed, such as x-rays or an MRI scan. Also, the orthopedic doctor may or may not recommend changes in the physical therapy care.
