My first thought is yes. I assume you need a hip replacement do to severe hip osteoarthritis. This can cause stiffness and pain which lead to altered body mechanics and an altered gait. This can cause uneven weight distribution which puts more stress on the other joints, especially knee, ankle and foot.
As I think about it more there could also be some referred pain in the thigh, knee and lower leg, as the hip joint shares nerves with these other areas.
With long term arthritis of any kind, there is generally weak muscles, as you are unable to use them as u normally would. In this case, this would include the hip stabilizers. This causes the leg to bear more of the load of walking, which could cause pain
There can also be an abnormal posture leading to less than ideal body mechanics and.
This does not guarantee that your pain is caused by the hip problem. The older we get, the higher the chance of having more than 1 diagnosis
I think you are on the right track. I had my right knee replaced in 2023. My left knee is almost as bad, but my right knee still gives me pain and gives me trouble almost daily. It also"pops" sometimes when I walk. Now my left ankle, the outer side of my lower left leg and my left hip and buttocks cause me pain. I am also a breast cancer patient and must take Anastrazole to try and starve my hormone-receptor cancer. One of the main side-effects of Anastrazole is joint pain. I am also overweight by at least 30-40 pounds. I wonder if my problem is more from obesity or from my medication or just old age. I am 79 years of age. @laura1970
