A year ago, I was hospitialized with a badly broken femur. I had to undergo surgery to put it back in place and get a metal plate + screws to hold it in place. This shows the bone a few hours after the incident and this is four months afterward. I was on cruthches for four months and had physiotherapy for nine.

Now, I cant seem to walk without limping, and I barley notice it. I cant play football since everytime I go to kick it, my leg hurts like hell even though my doctor says that I can.

Is the plate out now? Get another x-ray, to make sure it's healed properly.

I dont have a picture of my last x-ray, but I rembemer it being fully healed, ie. that little dark spot in the second pic was healed.

The plate isnt out yet, I go back in October to decide on whether or not it has to come out.

Yeah, tell the doc and get an xray taken. Sounds like it may not have healed properly.

Well you seem to have had lots of therapy and all that shit, were you listening to what they were saying about your whole situation? Surely all the Doctors etc.. have gone through the entire process with you thoroughly and have told you what to expect, not like anyone on BF2s is gonna be much help

probably need a little longer for your leg muscles, tissue, etc to go back to normal. Go swimming to rehab your leg.

Ive suspected that the muscle has shrinked so badly that it is making me limp

Self-diagnosis is a megafail. There's a reason why medical doctors have to study and train for 10 years.

Go get it checked out.

This. Plus, if you're having physio, why hasn't it been addressed there?

And it didn't hurt then? Go back to a physio and get them to check it out.

I can only diagnose problems to do with STD's, I'd take the advice of our good friends above, go get it checked out, don't seem right to me. Could be all manner of reasons why its giving you jip.

You're kind fucked. Femur is like one of the hardest bones.

Do what everyone else says and get it checked again. I've heard a number of cases where people have been checked over and are apparently fine, only to go back and find something was wrong all the time. Best thing you can do, seriously.
