Femoral Neck, Fractures?
442626
The femur is the large bone in the thigh that connects up to the ball and socket joint in the pelvis.  A femoral neck fracture is commonly known as a broken hip.  The fracture is usually dislocated and usually requires a complete hip replacement where the entire ball is replaced with a prosthesis.  There is a new surgery that uses a smaller incision and has a shorter recovery.  Best of luck!

LOL,  Ya, about 23 years ago.  Now I'm just worried about making it from the bed to the kitchen without breaking a hip.

I had osteoporosis in my spine and right hip. I had no idea until I had a bone density scan at age 58. I had taken HRT for 10 years to help prevent osteo. I started taking Fosamax (there is now Actonel, and Boniva) and my osteo has greatly improved. I know longer have osteoporosis I have osteopina which is where it starts. I also take calcium with vitamin D along with the Fosomax. I am 65 now and feel more confident that I won't break bones with simple movements. I will continue taking a bone building drug to prevent bone loss again. The very first thing to do is see your doctor for a BDS. Osteoporosis causes no pain unless you fracture something. The worse being vertebrae fractures which will cause collapse of the spinal column, pain, and losing height. Good luck and head to your doctor...

Go see an orthopedist. You probably broke your tail bone. If not, the bruise was so big it caused some calcification. An orthopedist can help you.

you possibly have a "pinched nerve" or small disc protrusion in your neck. mine healed with rest, heat and ibuprofen.\n\nif it does not get better in the next few days or gets worse, see a doctor asap. imho, do not go to a chiropractor or let someone "crack" your neck.\nI am not a dr. or nurse: but have had this same thing happen to me.

A femur fracture that has to be repaired is going to be a long time in the healing. Femur fractures are extremely painful and dangerous due to their proximity to the femoral artery. But as far as surgery goes if the Doc knows what he's doing it's a long but fairly safe procedure. Good luck!

It is very possible it could cause vascular comprimise distal to the fracture, but seems an unlikley factor in systemic peripheral vascular disease or in your other limbs. Please check with your doctor to see how you individual situation could affect any answer to this question.

I have had a total hip replacement for 13 years using titanium and a special plastic that fits between the ball and cup during winter I get pain between the hip and the knee this is said to be caused by the nerves near the hip .Metal ones like mine need to be taken care of so I dont dig holes ,jump or put any unnecessary force on the hip.Metal hips average life span is 10 years now there is a new type using some form of coral it is said to last 30 years and needs a smaller hole to be made in the leg .Some of my friends had partial hip replacements where either the femur or accetabulism is just replaced this is much more of a problem as getting the measuremenent right in a short time the doctor has is often difficult .I would not recommend that .For best results you need to strengthen your leg muscles a physiotheropist would show you if you cant afford one then follow my instructions ....Get a piece of masionite or thin plywood spread some talcum powder over it leave your sock on move the leg in and out lying flat on your back on the bed do that as much as possible then bending the knee bring your foot up toward your bottom again as long as you can then get a blanket or a few towels roll it up like a roll of paper place this under your thigh and raise and lower the lower leg again you can put a rice bag on the foot while doing this it helps the thigh muscle again as long as possible .There is a lot more I could tell you but that is the basics if you want to recover quickly.

You should go to the doctor to confirm that but when is about a fracture one of the symptoms is indeed a very strong pain in a speciffically spot where the fracture is located. May be you need medical treatment like a cast or inmovilizer, or just a litle more resting. Try resting with you foot higher than your chest and putting some cold patches in the spot where you feel the pain. Get Well soon.

Could be bruised or even fractured, if its causing you alot of pain, go see a doctor.

I would agree with your orthopaedic team. You do not want to do too much too soon as there is a potential for your new hip to dislocate. Take the rest and follow what the consultant says. They have done countless operations and know what they are talking about.

Maybe blood clots. Or something just as serious. Maybe just working out too much or over use? See your doc if it keeps up.
