Call ur Dr: Ask the surgeon whether or not thy expect the pain to persist temporarily and for how long. Get a follow up if not get second opinion.

Can't cure arthritis: Unfortunately we can't cure arthritis. You should consider activity modification--non impact exercise (ie riding a bike, swimming, elliptical). Stretching and proper strengthening of quads, hamstrings and core muscles may be helpful. Antiinflamatories intermittently may help too; if pain persists followupnwith orthopedist to discuss possibility of injections.
