@johnbishop John, I can imagine that with the knee surgery, you might have back pain. Your legs might be tight which pulls on the hips and low back. The pelvis can go out of alignment too, and that affects everything. If it's off just a little bit, it puts pressure on one side of your knee joint adding to extra wear and tear because that goes out of alignment too. A physical therapist can help. My pelvis can shift, and I know some things from my PT to do to realign it. One of the problems is sitting too much, and the muscles in front of the pelvis get too tight, which then can pull on the lower spine. When all that gets too tight, your steps get too short. I'm picturing you laying in a hammock with your feet elevated and sipping some cool lemonade in the shade with your ice boot on your foot. That sounds like a good thing on a hot summer day. You can call Therapy on the Rocks in Sedona to ask for names of MFR therapists who have taken expert level courses and see if they have any in your area. http://therapyontherocks.net/ They don't all pay to be listed ob the MFR website. They would have more experience and can't take those expert courses without the prior course requirements.
