Pain on weight bearing 10 weeks after hip fracture repair

Posted , 20 users are following.

I had a femoral neck fracture 10 weeks ago and a dynamic hip screw repair.  I am still needing two crutches to walk and cannot full-weight-bear on the affected leg without considerable pain.  I wasn't expecting this long. Can anyone comment please?

    Hello

    its best to not rush. Follow doctor advice. I had femur fracture in Aprill, rehab, the 3 days ago, pain in hip,groin and buttocks. I have to wait a long time before doctor appointment. I am in so much pain and worried. I hope its not a loose nail or broke again. Please reply
