Pulled Muscle..Broken Leg???

Last week my leg was hurting some, but not enough to worry me about it. Well Thursday of last week I went and to the hair salon and I used my walker, the rest of the time I'm in a wheel chair and I don't do very much walking at all. So after Thursday, my leg has been hurting really, really bad. Wednesday I went to the doc and it X-rayed and according to them its not broken and to make sure of that, in a few wks I go and have an MRI done. But it hurts and kinda has burning sensation. So I don't know if its a pulled muscle, which I'm hoping that's all that it is, but it hurts really, really bad when I get in and out of the van. Spending time in a spika isn't in my plans anytime soon.

Hi Rita. Sorry about your leg. At least the xray did not show a broken leg. That is a good sign. Good luck with the MRI.

I think its been to long for that to happen, but I never thought about that. I haven't put anything on it. But those pain pills are starting to sound really, really good! LOL!!! If they see its broke I might have to put a cast on it, but I hope not because if anything is broke above the knee its a body cast or I might do a rod and then it shouldn't break again, but I'm not jumping up and down for a surgery since I'm in a wheel chair and before my last surgery in 2000 I did need any aid like a walker or a wheel chair! :

I hope you are better soon. when i hurt my back i went for xrays and they showed nothing the first time. The second dr a week later sent me again to the same xray different tech that day and yup there it was. T-10 almost broke in half and damage to other verabre. Just a slightly different angle.


So hoping they didn't miss yours!


Ps: i had felt like an idiot after thinking it must have been in my mind. (rude dr made me feel that way). i had even jacked up the truck and changed the tire and also pushed grant out of a snowbank(his truck not just him LOL). I could have ruined the rest of my life!
