Hi,
Thank you for your question.
From the history and description of the pain your husband is in, he may have fractured his femur. Therefore, I would strongly recommend that he consults a doctor urgently.
If he has fractured his femur and leaves it too long before treatment then the operation may be more complex than necessary.
Regards.
