symptoms of femur fracture.

My husband has bladder cance and prostate cancer
and now has metastatic tumors in his lungs , right neck, lower right back and upper right back.
He has just gone through 10 radtiation treatments to his chest.

His right leg gave out on him and he is suffering from acute pain in the right femoral area.
refuses to see emerg. as he is scheduled for a full ct scan...in 3 days.

I want him to go to the emerg now...this happened last night (Friday)
CT Scan scheduled for Tuesday.

He can barely walk and in severe pain.

25 radiation treatments in February of this year for prostate cancer.
Previously BCG chemo therapy for bladder cancer.

What are the risks of delay?

Thank you.

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.
