Recurrent pain in the femur and difficulty walking warrant a visit to the hospital for an X-ray to determine whether a fracture is present. If a fracture is confirmed, mild cases may be managed conservatively, whereas severe cases require surgical intervention at a qualified medical facility. If no fracture is found, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed for pain relief—always follow your physician’s instructions regarding medication use. Additionally, avoid weight-bearing on the affected limb in daily activities.
