Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain

I have been told I have bone on bone of the right knee. I need a complete knee replacement. But my knee dose not hurt. Sometime it hurts a little on the outside of the knee. All of my pain in in my lower back. At time I can trace the never from my back down to the spot I hurt on the side of my knee. About years ago I did have surgery on my back. I don t understand why my back hurts so bad and the knee not much =. Unless I stand or walk a lot. Even then it is still more my back.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of lumber spine related problem is more likely.
Lumber spine problems are very common in patients with knee joint osteoarthritis. This is because of waddling gait acquired due to knee problems. Waddling gait will ultimately harm lumber spine.
So consult orthopedic doctor and get done MRI of lumber spine.
And don't wait more for total knee replacement.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
