What Causes Pain On Fracture Side When I Moved From Walker To Tripod?

I have several pelvic fractures and an L4 fracture. None required surgery. Since I have graduated from walker to tripod I seem to be having a lot of hip pain on same side. Is this normal? Also after all most five weeks out still hard to lay on my side. Is that normal

Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history there is possibility of arthritis post fracture.
You may need to do X ray and blood investigation again.

Consult orthopaedic surgeon for further investigation and treatment.

Tripod will lead to excess weight on fractured bone leading to more pain.
This may not be normal for healing of your fracture.
Consult your doctor again.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
