Well............no........you are not being impatient.

Did you have your hip pinned or a hip replacement following your fracture?

Hi Sqad,

Sorry it was just over 8 weeks ago and I had it pinned and was told that is why it takes longer to heal than a replacement!

Sqad

Ah! right...well no big deal then...early days.

You will be followed up in Orthopaedic OP's and re Xrayed and that will show up any problems.

Take painkillers in the meantime.

I had my hip pinned, took ages to heal, I was worried too but did get better eventually, make sure you to the excersises.

However, a year on & still get pain in it sometimes.
Wish you well soon.
