Oh my goodness. I was wondering why my back had started to hurt and I never imagined it would be because I was walking differently during recovery! I'm glad I found this forum, I was starting to worry that I was going to have a new problem to deal with. Four weeks post TKA .

When my back started hurting I reached out to Ortho and he told me that my gait would change some until my body adjusted.
That made sense. If you stay focused on how you are walking, your back shouldn't hurt, as bad. If I am having a rough day with my knee and start to kinda drag my leg instead of bending my knee like it should, my back will start hurting. I remind myself to bend my knee.
