I had a complete fracture of my left femur.,., and tomorrow will be my 4th month., and I'm still on my crutches., i can stand on my own., and 90% my my left leg is back,. but still i cant walk., my knee hurts., why?
Similar Threads:
Your knee hurts 1: Because you have been walking abnormally for 4 months and not using the leg correctly AND perhaps 2: Maybe you injured your knee at the time you fractures your femur but the fracture took priority and the knee was overlooked at the time. 4 months is a very long time to still be on crutches. Was it a complicated fracture?
