My partner is 26 and had a bad motor bike accident when he was 23 and broke his left femur in 3 places, one was a compound fracture the other was just a break and the other snapped the ball off the top of the femur – he now has a rod through that bone and he also fractured his pelvic in like 7 place and that has been repaired by titanium plates. He also fractured his right femur and shattered both knee caps. He is constantly in pain and sleeps maybe 3 to 4 hours a night if he’s lucky. He doesn’t like taking drugs for the pain as it makes him sluggish and out of it. Is there anything I can do to help him? I hate seeing him in constant pain and always tired and stressed form it.
Thanks
Sarah
