What causes pain in the upper left leg long after having a knee replacement?
Patient: My upper left leg is painful and causing me to limp. It feels like the pain is coming from the femor. I ve had both of my knees replaced and the pain started at the knee then spread up to my hip. At times I need to use a walker to get around. The pain gets worse the more I walk and keeps me awake at night. I am 69 years old and my knee replacements were performed 10 years ago. I have been limping for over a week. Doctor: Hi,  You need to repeat a X-ray of your knee. If everything is fine then start doing quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises which would have been advised to you earlier and probably you have left them because you feel fine. So start doing them again.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards,  Dr. Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
