That's a good question. I can't say for sure if cervical issues would cause behind the knee pain. I believe that most cervical issues would affect your arms, hands, fingers, & chest more than the lower portion of the body from the dermatone charts that I have looked at.

Do you have any issues in your lumbar area? Have you had any imaging studies done on your knees? I have had a torn lateral meniscus for years that I still haven't had surgically repaired. Since my fusion surgery, I feel it a lot more than I use to.

Hi sk8ter and welcome to the forum,

From what I've read of this and other forums, yes, cervical issues can be the cause of leg pain. I'm also not familiar with ARD???? though I kind of feel I should be

My best to you, Dale

Sk8ter,

Do you mean ADR (artificial disc replacement)?

Default re pain in or behind knees

Best to get this checked out by a doctor. Because I have a history of 2 right knee surgeries and osteoarthritis in both knees and patella tendon tracking problems my OSS has had to do diagnostics on my knees that would rule out whether it's just a knee prob or also a problem that is created by or contributed to by my lumbar problems.

I think there are plenty of qualifed docs in the LA area that can check this out for you..

Re the cervical cause of probs~ that I have no clue..

See your doctor or an OSS in the area.
