What Causes Severe Pain In The Back And Hip After Having Knee Surgeries?

I have had 5 knee surgeries in the last 3 years...tore all ligaments in right knee and torn all but the PCL in the left knee. I will need more knee surgery in the future. Now I am having major back and hip pain on mostly my right side. How should I proceed?

Your gait ( walking pattern) may be leading to your back muscles and hip to work more and in compromised biomechanics. Better if you can take stick or walker support. Sometimes knee pathology can have referred pain to your hip. Get a proper walking support first.
