    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Recovery questions.

    Hello everyone, Just posting a follow-up and a slight concern. It's been six months since I broke my femoral arch/neck and had hip pinning. I see my doctor tomorrow for follow up. I seem to still have pain in the affected hip - mostly on the outer thigh, on the joint where it was broken. Some...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Pain in neck of hip

    I wasn't bed-bound after coming home from my surgery, but I wasn't able to do much of anything for a few weeks. Nearly everything was difficult and I was in a lot of pain. About 6 weeks after my surgery, my surgeon told me that I should begin bearing full weight (as tolerated). I didn't/wasn't...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Pain in neck of hip

    @SeanMurphy, Like you, I broke my hip and had surgery just a few hours afterward. Mine happened 15 January of this year. From my experience, you sound as though you are doing fine and are on the right track. You will, of course, still have some discomfort and pain and probably will for some...

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

    Hi @Mandie4711, Like you, I also fell (on 15 January) and fractured my hip and had metal rods placed. I just wanted to reassure you that you're not alone and that a lot of the pain you are having is probably quite normal. I too still have swelling and odd pain in my knee, which wasn't affected...

    @Layla Thanks for the kind words. I suppose I was having a very bad day emotionally when I wrote that. I tend to get frustrated rather easily. I suppose I need to start appreciating all of the improvements I have made since my accident. I sometimes I just get a little overwhelmed by how slow...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Recovery questions.

    Hi Debru4, Thank you for the reply. I have been doing okay, I suppose. I have a bit of pain, while not excruciating, it's more of an aggravating pain. It's generally always there and I have just decided I am going to have to live with it, I suppose. Having never broken my hip before, I am not...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Recovery questions.

    Thank you all so much for your replies! I am really grateful! I have taken your advice and decided to stop PT for now and slow down a bit and not try to rush my recovery and it has actually been very helpful. Since posting last week, I have been doing very minimal exercises – just walking a bit...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Recovery questions.

    Hello all, So glad I have found this forum and to know that I am not so alone with my recovery! On 15 January of this year, I fell approximately six feet from a roof onto a wooden deck and broke my left femoral neck/arch. I went to the hospital immediately and was admitted and had emergency hip...
