A member asked:

Acl tear, doing physio , wait for surgery can this injury give low back pain that's what i'm experiencing, can back be compensating for knee injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very possible: The ACL tear I am sure is altering the way you walk and can result in low back pain. Physical therapy after the corrective surgery is very important to get back to comfortable and normal ambulation.
