TKR - Spinal Stenosis/Disc Issues Affecting Recovery

Back in the summer, I began having significant back pain. I had an MRI of my back which showed the spinal stenosis and bulging discs at L 4&5 and at S1. I had been dealing with knee issues in both knees which had my attention for years. Since having TKR surgery 5 weeks ago, my back has really been giving me fits. Has anyone else had back issues prior to surgery and how did this impact your rehab and recovery from the TKR?
