Hi. Hope you can help! I'm 12 weeks post op. And although recovery very slow and hard, I was starting to feel I was getting somewhere. How ever a few days ago whilst I was outside walking I suddenly got this agonising pain in my back ! Just below my left shoulder blade ( left knee replacement) it's like a knife In my back and it's now happening every time I'm on my feet for longer than a few minutes! Only thing that helps is a hot water bottle in my back when I'm sitting or laying down. I have severe progressive arthritis in all my joints .but stabbing back pain is new ! I'm guessing it could be my posture. I'm seeing physio later. But anyone else going through this? Going back to work on Monday so need it gone. X
I think you PT will have some good idea about what's going on. I know before my surgery (I had both replaced at the same time), one knee completely locked up and I had to walk with a severe limp. The way I walked caused the rest of my body to respond and I was in all sorts of pain. I hope you get the attention you need and it gets resolved quickly. And not only because you go back to work next week, but because of the pain and stress it is causing.
I think it could be your posture as we do get into strange positions after tkr. Speak to your dr or physio for advice
