What Causes Pain In Hips And Knees After Standing From A Sitting Position?
When I get up from a sitting position, my right hip sends nerve like pain in area. I also have pain around my right front knee with tingling down my shin, over top of right foot, through right side of big toe and tingling on bottom front portion of the right foot. I was in an accident 3 mos prior to fusion surgery. What might be causing my present issues, and should I see my physician regarding this issue? I had a fusion of the L-3, L-4 2 years ago.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As you have pain radiating from the hip to the toe and also the past Injury in the spine there looks to be a pinch of the nerve in the lumbar spine where you getting this symptoms.
I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy and undergo some serious exercise sessions to stabilize the spinal column as you should be very much aware of the lumbar spine as it may give trouble in future if the muscles are not strong enough to hold the spine.
In my clinical practice when such cases comes it is described as failed back surgery cases. We recommend physcial therapy and proceed until the stabilization of the spinal column is done to safeguard the spine for the future. Majority of cases respond well to physical therapy program.
