18 months ago I had a plate and screws implanted for a fractured femur. I also had a partial knee replacement done on the other leg 10 weeks ago. Everything sort of settled but yesterday out dog walking I had pain in my left thigh where the plate and screws are. This morning I still feel it when walking around the house. I am hoping that this will be a temporary thing but am obviously concerned about this. I was busy yesterday so am hoping that I have just overdone it. Should I be worried? I feel as though there is no end to the problems with my legs. Feeling frustrated.
