73 year old male who is 13 year Amputee Above the Knee with partial hip replacement in July 2016. Until fall causing fracture I was very active Amputee working full time as a Tax Preparer Open year round. I did well and finally and went from on a walkeand Wheel chair because I had alot of experienc. I progressed to a cane after I could start wearing my prosthetic leg with a computerized knee. I took 30 days of PT T in December right before Season started and was walking without cane . after alot of seating in Late January I began having pain in pain in my femure and had to start using the cane again. Now everytime I get up after sitting for a periord of time I experienced pain in the femure. I am getting to the point now of having tremouspain. I just took two blood test for SED RATE ESR results were good 16 mm/hr less 20 is good That is the Red Blood Cell count.
The other test was CRP and it was a little highhigh at 0.7 mg/dl and shoud be less than .5
Waiting for meeting with Doctor to discuss test results
Vascular surgeon and the Ortho Surgeon have all reviewed the new x-rays and agree that the hip and femur have healed so there must be another reason for the pain. Could be Lupus since I don't have Heart problems. Has anyone else experienced something like this?
