it takes at least a couple of months.
you need to check with your doctor. the femur is a pretty bad bone to break.
it also depends on if you smoke, are overweight, your health factors.
my foot was broke in january and its still pretty weak. but i do smoke.
ask your doctor and see what he has to say about it.

I broke my tibia and was in a cast for almost 7 months and then they found out it was crooked and had to re-break it, but this time they did surgery and used a titanium rod and screws, so I was walking normally in about 4-6 months after I built my leg back up.

some months and then it somewhat is going to nonetheless be painfull. It additionally relies upon on how swiftly you heal. I took those caltrate chewable calcium pills and that i've got faith that they helped my bones heal swifter. I took 2 an afternoon. the chewable ones. Calcium is problematic on your gadget to take up because of the fact of this the chewables are greater proper. solid success and chuffed therapeutic. BTW I had 2 broken legs and replaced into waiting to do weight in 6 weeks. broken tibias..the enormous bones. Joints would be a sprint greater problematic nevertheless. I additionally had rods put in so as that i ought to function whilst my bones healed.

when we don't use muscles for a while they atrophy a bit,, get weak. We need to get them back in shape kind of gradually. Physiotherapists know how to do this,, how to do stretches and exercises to get those muscles toned up and strong again. don't overdo on that knee, cuz you don't want to injure that now. Call your doctor and tell him, and ask him about physiotherapy.

It could be stiffness. When I broke my arm and they removed the cast, it really hurt to move my elbow. If you are able to walk without your walker, you are on the way to normalcy.

My husband broke his femur and was on crutches for about a month. Do you go to physiotherapy? Also talk to your doctor.

yes it could be that you should stretch it out everyday and get it warmed up and ice it then heat it every night for about a week if pain is still there then consult your doctor.
