I have hip pain due to hip arthritis, but now my knees are also hurting. What could be the reason?
Hi, Knee pain certainly can be referred from hip pathology. It may also result from altered gait from your hip pain or may originate from your knee from arthritis or any other intra-articular pathology. I would recommend having standing knee X-rays and evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon to help determine the cause of your knee pain. Hope this helps! Edward W. Choung, D.O., M.S. READ MORE
