I am starting to have trouble at the back of my knee after braking my femure 20 years ago. Will i have trouble down the line
I’m dealing with bi lateral femur fractures due to 2 punk kids hitting me head on. It’s so painful, I am 22 months post surgery. Still very hard to walk. Right femur is doing much better than the left femur. I’m hoping that it won’t be like this forever
I broke my right femur approximately six weeks ago. Flew through the rehab program because I have always worked out. I am a 67 year young female and I am now experiencing Mid thigh pain. I would like to be off my opioids I was working toward that when this happened. Because of a stress fracture in my left thigh I had to cease physical therapy for now. Is this pain normal? I have seen my surgeon last week and he tells me that everything is healing.
I broke my femur in an car accident and have broken screw by my knee and they took it out and now had to have a total replacement of all hardware!! It’s be nearly a year and been in pain everyday
I broke both my knee screws and my hip screw 3 months after surgery. They replaced my hardware 2x, so 3 surgeries total. There still wasn't any improvement. By this point it was 2 years after the initial break. I ended up having a 4th surgery where they cut me from hip to knee on the outside of my leg. They changed the rod and screws then plated the bone. It's been 6 months and I'm walking again after almost 3 years in a wheelchair. The bone wasn't stable. The rod wasn't enough to stabilize the break so the bone couldn't form any new area of bone.
I would like to know peoples opinion on what I have been though. To begin with I am working on my 3rd Hip surgery in 1 year and and 10 months.The first sugery I had rod and 2 screws put in well 4 and half months later the rod broke . So I had a bigger surgery were they cut me wide open to put diffrent rod and 6 screws also had to make another break in bone to make surgery work. So now instead of one break in hip I have 2 breaks. Well 8 monthsa has went by and here it is again rod has broke and a screw. So now I have to have a whole hip replacement and no one knows why rod is breaking ?? I mean come on this makes 2 rods and srew nbreaking..Has anyone ever went thru this??
I shattered my right femur on Dec 3 2017
In a car accident that was nearly fatal 11 broken bones total
Had emergency surgery to repair shattered femur
They put a rod from hip to knee and 9 screws that will remain permanently
Had 60 staples
Still not allowed to put full weight
Having knee and hip pain muscle tightness and feels like my knee wants to bend backwards at times
Have therapy 3 times a week in my home
Would like to know if anyone has experienced anything similar and how long did it take for full recovery
