Hi team
I presented to surgery with a stress fracture in my femoral neck, >50% progressed. Not due to any specific trauma - maybe related to running.
As a result had to had dynamic hip screw inserted. Have found the whole thing so traumatic. My body has struggled, the pain and reduction in mobity is intense and the whole this has thrown me.
I'm 6 weeks post surgery and am still having bad problems with inflammation. My leg swells insane amounts, +7cm at it's worse.
Recently I've been getting freezing toes and feet on injured leg and discolouration of the leg too.
I was sent for ultrasounds today which were clear for clots.
Feeling so upset there are still so many complications at this stage. I'm in a worse place than I was 6 weeks ago and I'm so frustrated.
I'm partially weight bearing but not with huge luck. The swelling goes to my knee which is making weight bearing difficult - still two cructches.
So hard for a 30 YO to deal with!
Keen for any advice on swelling, discolouration or movement!
