Hi You had a spinal surgery and are having a bad knee and now have pain in the back of your knee up to your leg. In my clinic I would try to evaluate from both perspectives. If your pain increases on coughing or straining or at night, then chances are that it is from spine. If you feel that you have a swelling behind knee and that is causing pain then I will think in terms of knee pathology. I would suggest you undergo MRI Spine for proper assessment.
