A member asked:
Is it normal that i have so much pain in my back after a total hip replacement?

Not usually: If you had pre-existing back problems, they could be worsened by hip replacement if you have a resultant leg length difference.

No: Although the lower back and the hip work in coordination, it would be very unusual to see significant increase in low back pain after hip replacement. Improved mobility in the new hip replacement may actually lessen the strain on the lower back. Talk to your surgeon and consider seeing a physical therapist for help.
