Does Knee Pain/disabiltiy Having In Effect Causing Low Back Posted: 08-02-05 17:01pm
Can anyone advise me any medical
information on the following subject. I
injuired my left knee while serving in the
navy back in 1981. I did have surgery on
my left knee where they repaired the
liagaments. But to date I still have a
lot of pain in the knee and since injuring
the left knee my right knee is very sore
and hurts a lot also. I figured that I
favored my left knee it put more strain on
my right knee and this is the reason for
having a lot of pain in both knees now.
However, I had a back injury back in 1989
and have had several surgery and a fusion
but the surgeries have still not been
helpful and I have to take morphine for
the pain. I was wondering if the injuries
to the knees can also have effect on my
lower back pain. Prior to my back injury
I could not bend at the knees as medically
advised but I bent at the lower back to
bend over. Is there any medical evidence
out there that the knees disability could
of had some effect on my lower back
condition? Thank you to anyone that can
maybe help me here or provide info on
where I can get more information on this
subject.
