Hi,
I have gone through your query. 2 days of stay in hospital after you fell down and resulting in Pelvis fracture, means that you were not operated. Pelvic fractures that are treatable without surgery are treated by bed rest.
Considering your age, healing of fracture is very slow. You are required to take Vitamin D with Calcium along with bed rest. Movement should be avoided till healing process is completed.
I will suggest you to go for a review x-ray. Once the fracture has healed enough, rehabilitation can be started with first standing upright with the help of a Physical therapist, followed by walk with the help of walker.
What you are experiencing now is a complication of pelvic fracture and you should consult your treating orthopedic doctor.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
