What Could Cause Pain In Right Knee, Shin, And Lower Back With History Of Spinal Fusion And Ankle Reconstruction?
i am suffering right knee, shin, and lower back pain that seems to worsen at night. I had a spinal fusion some 15 years ago and have had a right ankle reconstruction. the pain wakes me most nights. I have had milder symptoms on the left shin bone also?

Hello,
There are two possibilities
First the pain can be due to spinal fusion that is pinching on the nerve due to back position while sleeping
Second is ankle reconstruction that has lead to faulty biomechanics at knee and leg and subsequent muscle spasms.
For either of these it will be good to consult a physiotherapist.
hope this helps you
thank you
