Does A Hairline Fracture Cause Pain In The Legs?

I am finally going to a doctor but wanted to check here first. I have wegeners and I know that joint pain is expected with that autoimmune disease, BUT.I am have a lot of pain in my leg joint. I cannot extend my left leg sideways. If I sit too long, I have a hard time standing. Recently, my leg has started to give way. I m wondering if I could have a hairline crack?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Fracture , hairline or complete does not occur without history of injury. ( Except stress or pathological fractures). In you case , In my opinion , the problem is in the joint as arthritis affecting both knee and hip joint. I suggest you get X rays of knee ,hip joints and you may require MRI of Knee joints. The treatment is painkillers and the cause found on the tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
