About 3 years ago I was T-Boned at 70 miles an hour. I broke my hip off at the ball joint and shattered my femur in about 9 other places. The Dr. went in and put a 12 inch metal plate in my leg and hip with all together 9 screws. I've been doing good however I have pains off and on. I've been told many different things and been to about 4 different Doctors and everyone has a different opinion. A couple days ago I started getting a very bad pain in my thigh. Like a stabbing pain and its every time I twist my leg. When I move I have to keep my leg completely straight otherwise I get the pain and I can't bend at the knee or walk up and down stairs normal, etc. I was just curious if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this? I've had similar pains before and I thought it was just scar tissue however this time its 10 times worst. If anyone can give me advice I would appreciate it I have an appointment for thursday so we'll see.
