Recovery from a femur fracture

[alophysio]

Hi subdivisions,

Sorry to be cynical, but what has your experience so far been with doctors (that you have told us)?? "don't need physio" and you ahve physio and it helps..."it will go away" tends to be "i am hoping it will go away if you don't do anything to make it worse".

It could be many things. Perhaps it is patellofemoral pain which is common after fractures because muscular imbalances tend to occur.

Tell your physio and ask for a proper assessment and diagnosis with treatment plan.

Good luck!

The two docs that I've interacted with were both under advising AGAINST physio. Anyway, i'm certainly glad I did some physical therapy. It has definitely helped.
Though I must say that the physios that are covered with my insurance plan didn't seem to have any holistic approach to things. They never checked how my gait has changed, or how my ROM has changed etc. Basically just had a bunch of drills/stretches they had me do - and simultaneously were managing 2-3 patients. Even so, things have been better because of my visits.

Thanks for the advice regarding the pain. My physio had said that I might be developing tendinitis but he seemed unsure. I'll consult with others as well.
