I’m currently dealing with a broken femur. The most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Femurs take a long time to heal. My doc told me 4-6 months minimum before I’ll be back to life again.

Then after the healing you need to do physical therapy to regain your strength. Since my break 7 weeks ago I’ve lost so much strength it takes every bit of strength I have just to lift the leg up to get into bed/car/etc, and some days I don’t even have that and have to use my hands to lift/move/reposition my leg.

Femur breaks are no joke.
