Have you sciatica? See doctor and possibly chiropractor.
Hi Maria. Having a knee replacement you may have thought it would make your knee pain better. I'm really sorry to hear that.
Did they give you any warning that could be a possible outcome before having your op?
I have knee pain, and am currently going to Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London 100 miles away from me, to see if im a suitable candidate for the new treatment procedure of stem cell grafting.
Just because you have had a knee replacement doesn't mean to say that this pain is caused by that. It could be pain from your back or hips radiating down your leg, as John mentions, something like sciatica. Best to see your GP or if you can self refer to Musculoskeletal triage if you have that locally.
