I am Jos A nn and I m 47 yrs old. I had a fall 5 months ago and was operated on the same day. 3 cannulated screws were inseted in my hip to repair the fracture. I was non weigh bearing for 3 and a half months as I had a bit of dislocation and the surgeon told me to not bear any weigh. Finally after my last visit and xray the surgeon told me that fracture is healing well and to start weigh bearing with physio. The physiotherapist told me I I m doing fine and 10 days ago I started using only one crutch.Now the problem is that when i am finding it hard when i stand up from a sitting position. I feel that my injured leg is extremly heavy. I have to make a huge effort when i take the first few steps after the sitting position. Then it is ok, afterwards i walk jusr fine with one crutch. Has someone experienced the same thing pls as I am worrying.I would like to hear if someone had the same experience and share it.
I would also like to have the screws removed once the fracture is completely healed as I find discomfort while sleeping and make certain movements. Hope all of you are bettter now.
