Hi @bridget1999 welcome to the online community. I see you have back pain when walking following on from a knee injury.

First of all I wondered whether you had seen a physiotherapist regarding your back pain? In many are it is now possible to self-refer via your GP's clinic.

In the meantime I am attaching a link to some gentle exercises for the back which you might find helpful:
