Hello, hope you are doing well.
This type of pain is normal in early postoperative period. However, consult with your surgeon for clinical assessment. He would suggest you better. It may be graft harvest related pain if hamstring graft have been harvested, which will subside slowly.

Yes it is seen in many due to the procedure which will usually subside with coming days. If pain , swelling and redness is too much and there is pain with movements of the knee associated with fever, please consult your doctor immediately. As of now you can wait and watch
