Default re hip and knee pain

Judy is this related to your back or are they separate problems? I know my knee pain was exacerbated a few times with back surgery and back pain exacerbated with knee surgery.. I had a time when I couldn't lie on my favorite side to breathe because of hip pain but I got a steroid shot in that hip and have been Ok ever since.

I am wondering also is the wait for the posterior part of the surgery because of a billing/insurance catch (like have to bill it as a separate surgery for it to be covered) or is it to allow your body to recover anteriorly prior to doing the posterior surgery?

I hope you don't get sick from Becka either. Have her wear a mask and gloves if she helps you out.

Ok sorry to read you're in that much pain though I guess that is to be expected this soon post operatively still. Hope the doc has a good plan for you! Maria
