Can Hip Replacement Causes Pain In Left Knee And Numbness?

Lower left back pain (sciatica?) which is now minimal but was replaced by left leg and left knee pain (possibly referred?) and numbness on inside of left knee that extends slightly above and slightly below kneecap. Pain is lessened with sitting but standing and walking are painful. I have a hip replacement on that side - could chiropractic help or be dangerous with an implant? What can relieve the pain?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi You are right about the pain as part of slipped disc pain .In my opinion with hip replacement and sciatica on the same side I would not advice you to undergo any chiropractic manipulation or interference. I would suggest that you take pregabalin , painkillers and exercises for back.and rest precautions as adv by your surgeon.
