Your question is little bit confusing.
Generally back pain is not related to knee replacement surgery. It is seperate pathology. Back pain may be because of various reasons. I guess your age is in ranfe of 50 years plus as you have undergone knee replacement ( some younger patients also need knee replacement but 50 years onwards is routine ). In this age group, back pain may be because of Lumbar canal stenosis, spondylitis, Lysthesis or some other reason which can be ascertained by clinical examination and X rays/ MRI.
