Is there a Dr in the house?

If the broken foot created gait issues i.e. changed the way that you walk, then it may be putting stress on your knee and could ultimately affect your hip. You would then need gait therapy to correct your gait issues. Even wearing a cast for several months can throw your body out of alignment, which can also affect your gait and how you balance your weight while in motion. See a physiotherapist and take it from there.

Or a chiropractor.

I understood the right leg pain from the overcompensating. Even the left I understand. What I don't understand is why I'm getting worse, not better.

Perhaps you need an X-ray to see if the break is healing properly.

That's true; you'd need your primary care physician first who'd then refer you. It's those little details I keep forgetting........

If your insurance is a PPO you do not need a referral, although you might want to go that route anyway.

Im going to have to give up the idea it may heal. It has been 24/7 pain for almost a year now and its only getting worse. Actually its the leg I did not injure that is very close to being insurmountable. IMO

bingo! Thanx

I am seriously looking forward to resolution regarding this matter. Its very draining mentally and obviously, physically. Early last night I was dealing with what was quickly getting excrutiating. I remember thinking i'd try a complete change in environment to see if it would help. However, about that time I rembember my head went back a little and i was very uncomfy on the couch. Next thing I remember its a few hours later and im looking up from the floor flat on my back facing the other way. I wasnt in "fallen cant get up" mode . i was in "different view from down here and this isnt a clarion call to me to get this fixed I dont know what would be. I did change the environment by going to the other end of the house where its the most peaceful and sleeping in one of my bedrooms I have never slept in and a different bed. It made a difference in the pain levels but certainly not a solution to anything else.
