Back Pain , Knee and Hip Replacements Foot pain

Have you been told you need a knee replacement? You may or may not require such a drastic surgery. Knee pain is often related to the muscles surrounding the knee just as much or even more than the structures of the knee itself. Many people who present with knee, hip , ankle or back pain are never told that these conditions are related. To just fix one joint without addressing the cause of the problem subjects the patient to future problems that may require additional surgery. If you have been considering a joint replacement and have not had a serious trauma in the recent past, please seek other opinions from a variety of providers.
