I’m grateful I don’t need surgery but I still fractured my hip.

[jamesalvarez]

Fractured both of my hips in a sporting injury as a teen, although the healing process went well every now and then the soreness or tension is still there but these are rare I've only noticed it once during an extensive work day. So far it has not affected my normal work routines or daily routines but when it does flare up it definitely puts a damper on that ability and motivation to perform excessive tasks.

Broke my hip 4 weeks ago I have a rod in my hip still got the staples in need to take them out but other than if it wasn’t for the pain medication I couldn’t manage please pray for my recovery

If you get screws in your hip, do those screws get in the way and affect the growth of my hip since I’m still growing?

My mom just broke her hip and she is going into surgery. That's why I'm watching this video.

When I was 18 years old I was involved in a car accident. I fractured my hips. It was painful. The the fractures were close to the head of my femurs and luckily I healed on my own. The fact I was young and the severity of the injury did not required surgery. The pain was unbearable.

I had AVN of the R hip. I was put off for a year because of Covid ect. By the time they did my surgery on thee 5th of last month it had collapsed. During my hip replacement my femur was fractured in 2 different places. They had to put a wire around my femur. I am having a lot of pain in my groin and down my leg still. Is this normal?
