Suggest Remedy For Pain In Leg
I broke my femur 2 months ago and everything felt good. I was weening myself off the walker and using a cane. I recently moved to a home that I have to negotiate stairs to get to the bedroom, and only yesterday did my surgical leg started aching and it is very difficult to put weight on it. Any idea why?
