Stop, call & listen.: Stop your work out program immediately. You will need limit your exercise to upper body. The knee pain can be an issue. Best to call your surgeon and have it reevaluated. In the future , it might be best to design your workout program with the assistance of a qualified trainer. The trainer will be able to design a workout that will not put at risk joints in jeopardy. You may have sciatic pain.
