Femur Fracture

[kara]

Thanks for reply physiobob - i get the exogen on Monday so will give it a go, ive heard quite good things about them, just didnt know whether they worked this late in the day post fracture, i have to use it for 2 months and of course, build some muscle before i go back in feb to see surgeon.

im quite enjoying being on the bike, i was on for 20mins this morning and it feels good, I will go swimming later and see how that fairs but my knee was very painful last time but perhaps my technique is wrong...

Oh god...You say the fracture doesnt look good, do you think its going to be a non union??? or looks bad in some other way??? my leg has been measured and its 6mm longer than the good leg, but this is acceptable apparently - all i want to do is get back to sports!

I really appreciate all your help and would be pleased to hear from an OS

me again!! im worried as to why my xrays dont look good i know there is no bone growth, but does anyone think something else is wrong??? a reason why no growth?? should i seek a second opinion from another OS? im getting myself a little bit worked up about it

I have also developed a pain on the inside of my thigh about a third of the way down and i cant figure out whether this is muscular or related to the fracture - it has only started after i started exercising on the bike and swimming - its a dull kind of ache with a bulge - my knee is also really painful on the inside of leg lower than the knee cap, feels very sore to touch aswell....ive always had pain on the front of my knee but the pain on the inside is new. i have bad nerve damage from the surgery (i think - maybe the accident??) that has left me with a numb calf on the inside of my broken leg - its kind of hyper sensitive but also numb if that makes sense, it doesnt give me much pain but i just didnt know if it was related.

I am going to visit a UK physio here in spain to get a thorough exam but this isnt until next week and was after some insights / advice in the meantime

any opinions and advice greatfully appreciated. x
