In the last two years, since my total knee relacement I have had back pain on only my right side. The pain is severe and in the right top side of my back and also the lumbar area and oftengoes down my leg. I have seen two orthopedic surgeons and two choirpracters. Nothing has helped me. I have also had many injections and take hydrocodone and naproxen.? Thank you Gloria
