41/2 months post TKR I am experiencing muscle spasms and pain on both sides of my lower back. Is there a connection to the TKR?

My husband had total knee replacements...This was followed last year by a hip replacement..This was one side only...Before the hip surgery he found, and the Orthopedist agreed, that you walk different...Your legs are now strong and the hurt is not in them that used to be....However, saying this your back does not know it...It is used to the pain of yesterday and sometimes damage has been done that affects even your muscles in your back and rear end or your hips...I believe they say that knee pain ultimately starts in your back...Good posture is the name of the game...or maybe it's "don't age"....

I wish I could tell you that there is a magic cure, but I can't...At least your knees are strong and that is so important...I know, I live in pain....I cannot have knee replacement's because of bad circulation....

Good luck,
Caroline

I am 12 weeks post operative of TKR of my right knee. I'm a 72 year old female. My biggest problem at his point is my lower back. I can't stand for long periods of time or walk without sitting down to rest the back. I had hoped by now that would be subsiding, but even with 110 ROM and walking without a cane, it doesn't do much good if there is no endurance.

Had both knees replaced and two and a half months later my knees are grinding? What is with this????
