question: I broke my hip 18 months ago. Initially it was taken care of by using 3 screws to hold it together, but over the course of about 9 months the screws started coming out and my leg shrunk up about 2 inches in the process. I ve since had hip replacement surgery, in which I had my muscles/nerves in my leg stretched almost back to where they were. now, I do have some pain in the incision area, but most of the pain generates from under my knee, shin, calve and in my ankles. I m sure it s due to stretching the tendons and or nerves but my question is, what is the average time period in which it takes for something like this to heal if at all?
