A lot of patients have mixed pain in leg when they approach a surgeon for total knee replacement. In older age leg pain is more common in Lumbar canal stenosis and lots of patients ave no back pain.Patients feel that as they don't have back pain the leg pain is also attributed to arthritic knee and will get cured after a knee replacement. When leg pain and heaviness and pain around knees continues, they feel the surgery has failed.
Always get back investigated in detail before undergoing a knee replacement surgery. If back also needs surgery, the back surgery gets priority over knee surgery.
