Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 , If your cord has retethered, it can definitely cause weakness in your knees. As far as pain, generally not, with the exception of causing neuropathy in the legs. But, it would be pretty rare to experience neuropathy in just one knee. If the TC has weakened your knee, its possible that you have injured it because you don't have the strength in it. Also, if your gait is no longer normal, you could be putting strain/stress on it in an abnormal way that could be result in pain.
