What Causes Pain In Legs And Hips?
I broke my ankle (femure near the ankle joint) in March. Since I have started back to work (I am a nurse) I have pains in my legs as if someone is stabbing me with a needle. It first started behind my knees and I noticed a spider vein appear behind one knee. Now its pin pricking pain up and down the back of my legs and in my hips. What can I do?

Hello,
This pain is not related to your broken ankle. I think you are not putting proper weight on the affected side of the ankle so I would suggest you to get x ray of the knee joint to see if there is reduction in joint space. Some time there can be effusion in the knee also.
