What Is The Healing Period For Stress Fractures After Having A Surgery On Left Leg?
Hello my name is Joan Mc Gilton. I have n.f. I am 56 years old in 1995 I had a tumor behind my eye it was pushing my forward slightly the Dr gave me prednazone to keep the tumor from growing so fast I was on them for 6 months. Eventually I got osteoporosis and hyperparathroid. So I was given actinal. I went from the daily then weekly and monthly meds then I started reclast the injection yearly I did the yearly 2 times. This past 3 years or so I been having trouble walking the pain was around my femur bones. Well last year Oct. 13 and 24 I went to Cleveland and found out I had stress fractures those dates were the days I got operated on one on the right the other one was on my left leg I got rods and screws put in. March I got operated on my parathyroid. I am still having a very difficult time walking and doing any of my house work. I went to the Dr a month ago and still have fractures. I take calcium citrate+D3 2 to 3 times a day. I also don t therphy it makes me hurt more at the end of the day. Do you know how long it takes to feel better or how long will it take to heal. Or build my bones back up to where there stronger I want to feel like I did before I had fractures. Thank you Joan Mc Gilton
As you are having osteoporosis and hyperthyroidism, your fracture may need two months or more to get clinical union. Please be in touch with your surgeon and get your regular X-rays done.
