I am having low back pain, not sciatic nerve pain, the pain is more towards the center of my spine, about 2 inches from my spine. I have AVN can this also be causing my back pain? I am having surgery on 9/24 LTHR.
 
Brenda, I moved your post to its own thread. I think it will get more visibility here and you will be more likely to hear from other forum members.

Is your AVN in your hip? Or do you have problems in other parts of your body also? I'm not sure I understand exactly where your pain is....you say it's "towards the center of" your spine and "about 2 inches from" your spine. Could you please try to describe it in a little more detail?
 
Hey Brenda Im a knee but I wish the best for you on your up coming surgery...........we will all be waiting for you when you get back......You will be happy you did this............)
 
Well, though I agree with Jamie that your description is a little confusing, I think you need to remember that your hip is only a couple of inches from the lower spine and people often mistake their hip pain for back pain. To use an old saying "everything is connected to everything else"!

Take a look at this diagram and you'll see how close the hip and the lower spine are. Many of the muscles that function in and around the hip joint arise in off the spine anyway so you can see that any inflammation arising in the hip can easily appear to be in the spine.

Sorry for the confusion. I have AVN of the left hip. I have a lot of pain in the hip, but I also have pain in my low back about 2 inches from my spine on the same side as the bad hip. My question was can my hip cause pain in my back also? Josephine showed a picture that pretty well shows how one could effect the other. Thank you.
