It can. If you have a job that requires you to carry heavy loads or if you participate in repetitive activities that puts stress on your knees, you might experience pain in your knees.
The lumber area is key in helping to support the weight of your body, so pain in this area can often lead to pain in other areas like the knees. To help prevent knee pain, it's important to maintain good posture and to avoid carrying heavy loads when possible. You might also want to consider doing exercises that strengthen the muscles around your knees.
