Is Lower Back Pain A Sign Of Spinal Stenosis?

I have lower back pain that a physical therapist told me could be signal stenosis. The pain is mainly on the lower left side and runs down my hip, into my groin, down my thigh causing great pain in my knee (replacement) and at times all the way down to my feet. Should I see a back specialist or have my hip checked out?

dear sir/madam
based on your description you are experiencing a radiclar pain,
i would examine your back , do some maneuvers for meningealirritation , have your sensations checked, and asess your motor power and then come for a diagnosis.
i would suggest attending clinician for check up.
