Suggest Remedies For Pain In Foot While Standing And Walking

Posted on Tue, 28 Jun 2016

Question: My son is 24 years old. He was on foot and hit by a car at age 15, sustaining a fractured left femur which necessitated insertion of titanium rod. He complains of pain in left leg when standing and walking for long periods and in cold weather. HE also has a history of narcotic addiction so surgical removal of rod is not feasible. what could he do to ease the pain? Any advice from GP, or orthopedists? It is limiting types of jobs he could get!

Brief Answer:
I need little more detail of the illness

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Pain in fracture femur after union is not common. It can be due to either fracture not united or nail issue. Before I advised any further I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.When did this surgery took place?
2.Can you send me x rays of the nail?
Please send me answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you.
thanks
