Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I getting a very shark pain in my left hip where I have steel rod and the pain at times radiates down to my entire left leg, but the majority is my hip. It started happening on labor day of this year. In 2013 as a result of a drunk driver I was hit head on by an 18 wheeler. I had both legs & hips broken and rods inserted. Also, I had a fracture to my C-2 and 9 broken ribs. Yes, I am a miracle (lol). I am truly grateful to God to be here today. How can I can if a rod is loose in my hip?
