A member asked:

Hip pain after l5/s1 spinal fusion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Sanders answered

Specializes in Pulmonology

That's common: Often, your low back can cause hip pain, just like hip problems can cause knee pain. I would talk to your orhtopedic and see if he could recommend some strengthening and stretching exercises and also to ensure nothing else is going on.
