[QUOTE="Jeepnron, post: 97317, member: 154"] I have not broken my femur, but I did break my tibula (that is the second biggest bone in your body) back about 12 years ago. I had a compound fracture where the bone was completely broken into and came through the skin. My leg looked like the famous Joe Thiesman or Tyrone Prothrow break= NASTY!!! Like you said earlier, it did not really hurt that bad when it happened, I actually had to ride 1 1/2 hours to a trauma center. My buddies loaded me up in a Toyota 4x4 and hauled ass. I rode in the passenger seat with a towel wrapped around it all the way to the hospital. Later is when it really hurt like hell! I had the rod from my knee to my ankle and it was about 3 months before they put me in a walking boot. Even till this day if I twist my leg the wrong way or stand up on concrete all day it still hurts! I ended up having three surgeries within a year and like 86rocktoy the rod made my leg hurt as bad as the break. After about a year if it bothers you I would highly recommend having them remove the rod. My doctor did not want to remove it but I bitched so much he finally agreed. Anyway, good luck and get used to laying around for a while. thumb.gif [/QUOTE]
