Why Am I Getting Pain In Hip And Back And Leg Is Almost Impossible To Walk?

I broke my femur in three places last May. I fell from the tops steps of a coffee house.The steps are short and I took a nose dive. I have so much pain in my hip and back and leg that it is almost impossible to walk. The PT exercises have made the pain a lot worse so I don't do them, I do stretches instead. I can not walk much and am afraid I will lose my job..Help!! Will I EVER get better?

Hi,

I have read your query.

You have not mentioned what kind of treatment done on your broken femur. Anyways, for your pain I advise you to get xray lumbosacral region done in AP and Lateral view and send me the report. Because nerve which exit from lumbar region when get compressed cause pain in back, hip and leg.

Till then take 1 tab. aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside three times a day.

Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.
