History Of Broken Leg. Pain In Leg Even After Removing Screws And Plate. What Can I Do?
I broke my left leg 6 years ago both the fib and tib..I had a rod placed in the bigger bone and a plate with screws in the smaller one...I have been trying to train for my first 5k and my leg was hurting eveytime I ran, so I went to the dr in which they removed all screws and the plate and left the rod but my leg is still killing me....what can i do? I thought maybe i just needed to build muscle or run through the pan but shoot it hurts.

hi craig
fracture after six years of surgery should not hurt you unless there is some infection or non union or any thing else.i think you take opinion of another orthopedic surgeon to reassure weather every thing is fine
