Members shared their experiences with knee pain that originates from the hip or back, with many describing how lower back issues, particularly degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis, can cause pain to radiate down through the hip and into the knee. Several members offered practical insights, including the importance of getting an MRI to rule out spinal nerve involvement, wearing knee braces during extended activity, being mindful of footwear choices that can throw off body alignment, and understanding that doctors may want to address knee problems before performing back surgery to create a stable foundation. A recurring theme was the interconnectedness of the body, where imbalances in the hips, back, or ankles directly affect knee pain, and members encouraged each other to advocate for thorough diagnostic testing and to keep faith while waiting for answers.

@Jayup I do have pain that comes from my back down to my knee and sometimes just below the knee it is caused by my spondylosis thesis. the disc in my lower back are degenerating and sometimes slip and hit the nerves that affect my right leg sometimes they will slip and affect both legs and that I cannot walk at all for two or three days until they slide back into place. Ask your doctor to do an MRI of your back to make sure that it's not coming from your lower spine. Good luck and God bless I'll keep my prayers going for you

All I have to do is change the kind of shoe I wear and it will make my knees hurt. If my hips, back or ankles are out of balance, my knees will be in distress. That's why my back surgeon said I had to have my knees replaced before she would do another back surgery on me. Something about starting from the bottom so the base is sturdy before going to the core.
