How long does it take for post-traumatic arthritis to be? I was in a car accident back pain on August 31 ...
he broke my left subclavian, right of the left femur above the knee and my right ankle. I had surgery on the last 2.
I'm having a little pain in my knee any day now, normally when I straighten it all the way and move or twist it to maneuver around.
no idea what it is and could it be arthritis after only about four months since the accident?
Post traumatic arthritis may start in a few months or it may take years.
It is not uncommon to have severe pain in the knee after a break so close to her. Any area of trauma will tend to suffer from inflammation months after injury and surgery only add to the problem.
So after someone goes through a break in the femur and surgery in the region tends to favor a leg. Walking incorrectly can cause an incorrect use of the knee joint, which will weigh on the joint. This can lead to inflammation of the cartilage and conservation irregular.
The best thing to do is to consult your doctor or an orthopedist and have checked. Also pay attention to how you walk so you have a soft approach or unnatural, then consult a physical therapist can make a huge difference in your level of pain.
