I broke my leg 9 months ago and had a plate and screw put in. No pain what so ever in all this time. My leg swelled over the weekend very badly and tonight at work I could barely walk. Very painful even tho the swelling has gone down. What is up with that
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you had implanted in the leg and for so long days no pain and aches. So now if the pain is arising then you should get it once checked by taking up an x-ray. As by understanding the biomechanics of the bone, the leg bone is a weight-bearing bone and any implant fixed needs an assessment if pain arises.Also, when you stand for long hours the biomechanics of load and stress of the bone is high, and it may give some indication in the form of pain. So getting an x-ray done is advised. Based on the X-ray findings the next plan can be made. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
