Your feet, legs, hips, back and neck are all connected and if you are having problems in one area, it could affect all other areas of your body.

Absolutely.
Your back is an indicator of the health of your whole lower body.
This is why so many people can use Insoles in their shoes to stop back pain.
Now… Don’t get offended by the following. I don’t know you so I need to speak in generalities and in general, the following is spot on accurate.
Do you have a history of addiction in your family of origin (Parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles) or do you, personally, have a history of addiction or trauma in your childhood?
Back pain that results in surgeries can be an indication of more than just physical injury… If you’re taking opiate pain medication, including the “Synthetic Opiates” which they like to claim are non-addictive but have been proven to be otherwise, your body will start to create pain to get you to take more and more medication.
“Back Pain”, “Joint Pain”, and “Headaches” are the most common ways that your body will try to force you to take more opiates.
While this also happens in people that are physically dependent on pain medications, which most people start to take for legitimate pain reasons, the worse the pain created by the body the more likely that it is that you have the genetics and brain biology for addiction.
Physical Dependancy = Your body gets used to the drugs and you’ll experience withdrawal when stopping.
Addiction = You detox and yet can’t stop thinking and dwelling on the drugs. It’s the compulsion to go back to using after physical detox.
MANY MANY MANY People find that their pain almost goes away when they get off of opiate pain killers and start using different pain control methods.
And if you have a trauma history/abuse history in your childhood, the problems of addiction go from theoretical to almost guaranteed.
