Hi. Since you mention that you underwent surgery 3 years ago, I hope you were given a proper physiotherapy consult at the time. There are certain exercises which you can try and perform at home, however, i would recommend visiting your nearby physiotherapy clinic for better results. Please look through the following exercises:
1. Knee to chest
2. Static abs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW94VEfh-Fg)
3.Side bending
4. Icing for 7-mins
Next Steps
Consult a PT, in person.
Health Tips
If the pain radiates to your legs, consult your orthopedic surgeon and follow-up with a qualified PT.
