Suggest Treatment For Pain In Leg Due To Titanium Rod
I had a titanium rod put into my femur along with 2 screws. I have sharp pain in my hip where rod meets the screw. I cannot apply weight to that leg without hooting pain in my hip. Without weight, little to no pain. Cannot walk. Surgery 1.5 years ago.
