Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Femur Bone With Titanium Rod

I broke my femur when I was 16 and had a titanium rod and 4 screws put in. Now 8 years later I am in so much pain and its at any random step feels like a pinching stabbing sensation like my leg is about to give out and it s causing me to limp the pain is shooting into my back sometimes and also a light pain in my knee where two screws are placed. I m pregnant now and can t bare this much longer. This pinching sensations is truly horrible. What can I do to fix this???

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 

To look deeplg into the matter and to completely rule out, whats going on in there, I strictly suggest you to go to an Orthopedic Surgeon for reevaluation and treatment of the disease. We have to see what is causing this pain. Is this a new bone spur or some nerve involvement. After careful physical examination, he will take the help of radiologic diagnostics to reach to a conclusion, and treatment strategy starts where diagnosis is reached.


Please, don't worry and avoid taking pain medications by your own, as it may be hazardous to the baby.

Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
