Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. A pathological fracture can be suspected in your case. In such cases chances of pulmonary embolism is high also.So it is better to have a consultation with orthopedician. X ray examination might be needed.You can apply ice splint the leg and go to ER.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
