Issues with a fractured hip?!
Question:
Issues with a fractured hip?
In 1995 I fell fracturing my hip and splitting my femure. I was 23 at the time. Obviously there were numerous pins though the hip did not have to be replaced. From that time, there hasn't been a day that I haven't felt pain in various degrees. I tend to limp more on certain days. It has affected my balance/coordination, left me insecure, and prevented me from being active hence I have gotten out of shape. I have seen the elderly fracture thier hip and bounce right back. Should I be concerned the procedure was done incorrectly? Should I go back in and have it redone (meaning experiencing that horrible pain all over again). Any advice?
Answers:
i would defiantly go back to the doctor to have him check it out. you may be developing arthritis, or since you broke your hip, you will always be over compensating for the other leg. Either way the doctor should see you for this and recommend any treatment that will be useful for you. Good luck
