Hip replacement and knees

Member Posts: 2
I am on a waiting list for hip replacement and also have arthritis in the knee of the same leg. I have been told that the hip replacement will make the knee arthritis symptoms tolerable. Is there any information about this like how or why it is possible.
Any information would be helpful.

Hello @Gimpy welcome to the online community
I see you are awaiting hip surgery, but also have pain in your knees.
Many of our members reports pain in joints other than their knees when the issue is their hips. This information might be of interest to you, but the part entitled 'How will Osteoarthritis of the hip affect me' talks about this issue.
You might find it helpful to read two ongoing threads too:
Best wishes
Ellen.
