I know 5 weeks seems like a long time, but you are still very early days in this year-long recovery, @Susytish, and discomfort up and down the leg -- even into the hips is very normal at this stage of recovery.
Remember that all of the soft tissue in your leg was traumatized by the surgical procedure and it takes time to heal from that.
What's more, it's very likely that you were favoring the bad knee prior to surgery, putting the rest of your body out of alignment. It takes time -- and some aches and pains -- for our back, hips and legs to adjust to the new alignment created by the surgery.
Be patient; you will likely some improvement with time.
