As a Spine Specialist, I commonly see patients with Spine issues misdiagnosed as Knee osteoarthritis and also knee problems wrongly diagnosed as spine issue
What is required is to be physically examined by a Spine specialist, since we are trained in Orthopaedics and then further trained to deal with all Spine problems as well
Hope you get the right expert and Wishing you a speedy recovery
