    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Broke head of Femur in January 2020

    I had my hip pinned back in January 2020. I had mobility problems before and used a Walker indoors and a wheelchair outside. I coped really well with everyday life and chores but since my pinning I have been left unable to do anything. My hip has no flexibility at all. It feels heavy at the top...

    I broke my hip back in January 2020 and my consultant has said that it’s healed nicely but I’m still having pain in top of leg from buttock to hip. I was already disabled with mobility problems before I fell but since breaking my hip i am unable to do hardly anything anymore. I have no...

    It’s been nearly 11 months since I had my hip pinned and all was going ok apart from not regaining the strength back in my upper leg. But the last 2 days I’ve been in terrible pain not whilst walking but if I’m sitting an lean on my operated hip. It sends a shooting pain which makes me screech...

    A quick update on my hip pinning. I’m now roughly 5 1/2 months post op and things were getting better. I could do more things and thought great I’m improving. I had so much trouble bending my leg but now I can bend it a lot more not quite enough to put a sock on but nearly there. Trouble is I...

    I don’t know what’s happening to my hip as I’m now almost 5 months post op and X-rays show it’s healing well but today I have really bad pain all around the top of my leg. Things have been improving and my consultant said he is happy with my progress. I just can’t understand why today things...

    Hi Layla Yes it’s 4 months now and feeling a lot better thanks. I still get pains in and around top of leg mainly now where they cut me open. I still can’t lift my leg much so not able to put a sock or shoe on but I’m hoping this is just where the muscles are weak and in the next weeks or...

    I’m surprised that after that amount of months it failed. I have read about this and I think that’s what concerns me as don’t want to go through another operation. You think everything is going ok then when you get more pains you start to worry. Hopefully with regular X-rays things will be...

    Ohh not good and so sorry it failed. How did you know it had failed ? I’ve spoken to my consultants secretary today asking about having an X-ray just to put my mind at rest. But scared of going to hospital though with this virus

    Thanks I will give that a go see if it helps me. How long did it take you to stop getting all these different pains and for swelling to stop as I know we are all different but would be nice to have some idea from someone who’s experienced this .

    In certain aspects yes as I walk a bit quicker and managing other small things but pain wise I was doing much better until this week where pain in my knee and top of hip is more painful. I get very sharp twinges in hip but the knee is the worst. I worry the screws or plate have moved so was...

    My activity level is low as have no balance and use a rollator as I have very bad mobility. I try to walk as much as I can and do a few leg raises but that’s about all I can do.

    Pain seems to be getting worse. Really scared as don’t want to go to hospital again with this virus spreading. It seems the pain started more after standing up leaning over kitchen sink to wash my hair as normally I sit down but water pressure has gone in bathroom. I’m really hoping I’ve just...
