I broke my hip 18 months ago. Initially it was taken care of by using 3 screws to hold it together, but over the course of about 9 months the screws started coming out and my leg shrunk up about 2 inches in the process. I ve since had hip replacement surgery, in which I had my muscles/nerves in my leg stretched almost back to where they were. now, I do have some pain in the incision area, but most of the pain generates from under my knee, shin, calve and in my ankles. I m sure it s due to stretching the tendons and or nerves but my question is, what is the average time period in which it takes for something like this to heal if at all?
Hello, I have studied your case and your pain is not due to stretching. It can be due to weak thigh and hip muscles. For this you need physiotherapy in form of walking and other exercises. This pain will improve with physio in six to seven months. I would also suggest you to take vitamin B 12 and calcium and D 3 tablets that will improve your bone and muscles strength, I hope these steps will take care of this pain in 3 months.
