What about arthroscopic knee surgery on a knee that has been totally replaced?
Most surgeons will avoid to do this as an arthoscopy always carries a risk of infection, and infection in a joint with a prosthesis in it, is disaster. Besides of this, it is harder to do as the space is very thin after a TKP, and in most cases, there isn't much that can be done arthroscopical in such a knee anyway. After a TKP, you generally (but not always) no longer have any cruciate ligaments or menisci, so what are you going to perform arthroscopic surgery on? There are exceptions of course, but generally speaking, arthroscopy on a TKP is rare.
You thought you just sprained your knee so you iced and after a couple of weeks the pain went away the pain is back now why?
Go get at least an xray from the doctor. You could have done a lot to it, tore your cartilage, your ligiment, meniscus, broke your knee cap, plenty. I had knee pain after I played a game and thought hey after I ice it, it will be good. No, it got worse, and I had to get arthoscopy surgery, they do this simple small incision procedure to clean up and fix and find everything wrong with your knee while in there because some xrays/mri's dont show your problems up. Good luck! Hope your knee feels better soon.

How common is total knee ligament replacement surgery?
There are 5 main types of knee replacement surgery: Total knee replacement. This is the most common form. Your surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee. Partial knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one side of your knee, this surgery may be a possibility. However, it’s only right for you if you have strong knee ligaments and the rest of the cartilage in the knee is normal. Partial knee replacement can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed for total knee replacement. Patellofemoral replacement. This replaces only the under-surface of the kneecap and the groove the kneecap sits in. This can be very effective for people with chronic kneecap arthritis. Complex (or revision) knee replacement. This procedure may be needed if you have very severe arthritis or if you’ve already had two or three knee replacement surgeries. Cartilage restoration: Sometimes when the knee only has an isolated area of injury or wear this area can be replaced with a living cartilage graft or cells which grow into cartilage.
