I had scoliosis surgery when I was 12.  One leg was growing longer then the other, so the surgeon went into my right knee and destroyed the growth plate, so the left knee could catch up.  I have lower back pain, and degenerative joint disease in my knees now.  Is the lower back pain due to the surgery?  I thought the lower back pain would get better once I losed some weight.  But, it doesn't seem to be getting better, it seems to be getting worse... any ideas?
