Good luck in your recovery

yeah, referred pain is quite interesting at times. I have low back pain, and it causes my hips to hurt (according to my neuro and my regular doctor) Right now I want to scream because it hurts...so the bad back, sore hips are not doing my newly worse knee (it was already bad when I hurt it)
Tonight I did something interesting. I was sitting on my bed, and I noticed my kneecap had slipped over to the side of my knee. (eww!) Not all the way over, but partially off the side of my knee. My kneecaps have always been floaters, but I've never had a kneecap float quite that far before. I think I'll be calling the PT place as soon as I get up in the morning.
I'm actually kind of excited about the PT, maybe they can suggest some good stretches for my back and hips that will help that pain go bye bye while they're helping me with my knee.
