Anybody here ever break their femur???

[no1sirbutler]

Hey guys I just recently had an accident at work and broke my left femur and left foot and was wondering if anyone else here has done it. If you have please post up and tell me about your experience. Im currently going through physical therapy which I call HELL and hearing from someone else that has actually gone through it would be helpful. Thanks

That really sucks, but at least you did it at work. Good luck with the recovery.

i broke my ankle. very badly. i slipped and my leg twisted while my foot didn't.
both bones at the ankle broke.

still have a 5 inch plate on one bone along with a total of 7 pins in both.
it sucked. 5 years later i can remember it like it was yesterday.

positive side for you was your injury occured while working.

negative thing is it sucks anytime you lose the ability to be mobile and walk.
i had problems and still couldn't walk even with my cast off. PT was a life saver for me.

I can def tell PT will be a god send when Im done and walking again. However that wont be for at least another month b/c of breaking my foot. Thanks guys for support.

yup rods and screws and plates...and im not sure cause i was only 7 when i got it all....but i can rip gears and do everything fine. i just cant run unless someone is gonna kick my ass thats about the only time

Thanks man I appreciate the feedback. Im a little concerned about being able to shift as fast as I used to. But if its slower, Ill just bump the boost to compensate for it. LOL
