    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?
