Hi,
I am new to the forum. I just want to ask if anyone has experience severe lower back pain after a hip replacement. If feels like the pain is in more in my lower spine rather than my muscles. I am post op 5 months on the right hip and 8 months post on the left. I did not receive PT. I have an appointment with a spine specialist next week. I am scared.

Anybody ever felt lower back pain after a THR? I am post 5 months and my back is killing me. Lower spine, hurt with sitting and bending over. I had my left hip done 8 months ago. I am going to see a spine specialist next week. Please help. Thanks!

Hi, glamNP....welcome to BoneSmart. You'll notice that I've merged the two threads you started. We prefer that members have only one recovery thread so we can better keep track of what's going on during your recovery journey. So please post any updates, questions or concerns here.

Also, it would help to have your exact surgery date so we can create a signature for you. So if you would, please provide that for us. I have changed your thread title prefix to THR rather than BTHR. Bilateral THR means that you had both hips done in the same surgery.

Back pain can occur after a hip replacement, but it's probably a good idea to get checked out by a spine specialist. Did this pain start up immediately or has it just come on recently?

I'm going to tag our forum's Nurse Director, @Josephine, so that she can come chat with you. She's likely going to ask you some questions, so please try and be as detailed as possible in your answers. She's in the UK so it will be tomorrow before she can respond.
 
Hi there. Sorry to hear you are having problems. So I can give you accurate advice, perhaps you would help me by indicating on this chart exactly where this pain is?
