What Causes Intense Lower Back Pain Long After A Injury On The Right Leg?

I have had severe back pain at S1 . I may get back pain also around the thoracic region. I am not on any Rx s. I am feeling the pain at this point intermittently. I am working with a physical therapist, and I am at 9 visits with the therapist. I have history of hypothyroid issues. I want to be pain free, and without medication just like I was before this started. I was in a slip n fall accident in 2014 and an auto accident in 2016. The auto accident resulted in surgery of my right leg due to fractures to the tibial plateau, tibia, patella, and a torn lateral meniscus. My gait is unusual, and it has changed. I am happy that I am walking now.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
you had an accident which resulted in injury to multiple bones
however you might have sustained injury to lower back that time specially in disc
in a severe injury you might not have noticed pain due to disc prolapse
as you have started bearing weight disc might have been bulging causing pain
other thing is that abnormal posture leads to abnormal weight bearing which leads to increase load across lower back leading to pain across joint.
