I broke a bone in my knee. I got surgery and it was taken out.That was in Oct 2006 at first knee and therapy was ok but i got to a certain point and could not get any better. My leg would swell up almost every day and hurt so i take antiinflamatory and Vickodans. That was bad enough now the past 6 to 7 months the pain is going up my left leg into my back and the Doctors think im nuts. They xrayed my back an say their is nothing their. But I am in pain. I was told to use a cane it will help. I asled to go to a place called pain manigment i was told i dont need it. What do you think

John,
Great question! This is actually very common. The body has an amazing ability to get any job done. If the knee can’t function properly to do its job, then something else is going to take up the slack. In your case, the knee has sent the work up to the back. Basically, your body is asking your back to do the work of a knee, and it’s simply not designed to do the work of a knee. It’s designed to do the work of a back! I agree with the doctors that there isn’t anything wrong with your back. I believe it’s a perfectly healthy back, it’s just doing a job that it wasn’t designed to do. We need to focus on what’s causing both of these. Yes, they are the same problem. Remember that the body works as a unit, and there area no design flaws in the body. Call me at the office and we’ll discuss this in more detail. Thanks for reading my blog!
