What Causes Pain In Leg On Previous Fracture Site?

My daughter fractured her leg in 2 places wen she was 3 years old ( she is now 8) i think it was quite a serious fracture, the hospital said she may need to have surgery done if shin didnt heal by several weeks in plaster. Thankfully it did. Since this my litle girl has been getting really sore pain in her legs. i took her to the docs about this n they said something about attention seeking. 5 yrs after fracture and still recieves pain in leg. Do you think this could be something to do with the fracture.

Hi,

If the fracture was bad in other words if the injury was bad, she might have pain at the site. But my advise is to do a fresh x-ray and see the anatomy of bone that how is the bone growth and healing part which was fractured in the past. Overall, there is nothing to worry about, you can give Paracetamol for the pain and try to keep the are covered in winters.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
