The most mind-blowing thing about the surgery is suddenly, after 4 years, I can stand up straight, and I assume that that's what's responsible for my current hip pain, which is much worse than any back pain. Turns out having some bones in the wrong place is weird and bad for you, actually, who knew? - ThreadSky

It’s almost like everything is attached! My knee surgeries really did a job on my hips and lower back. But the good news is PT helped a lot. Hope you get the best possible results.

Thanks for the good wishes! It's really helpful to hear about your experience, too – I'm not allowed any exercise but walking for now (which helps!), and I'm optimistic that once I'm allowed to do more, yoga and/or PT and/or acupuncture will help, too.
