What do you take for painkillers?

Tramadol if it's above a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Advil for anything less.

Woah, on the heavy stuff. What is it you have wrong?

Nah, it's not that heavy duty, it just barely takes the edge off but it's enough.
I broke my hip back in July, then my femur broke in September, 2 breaks in 3 months.

Hip breaks can be a major problem. The femur should be fixed by now (?)

No, the femur is the worse break, due to where it broke and how, it didn't break clean, it was a jagged break and was below the node on the femur, it broke where the screws were put into the femur to hold the ball of the femur in place while it healed from the first break.

Sounds like you need some new body parts!

I've heard that reply alot on here!
According to the doc's if it does break again it may not be able to be fixed.
I have a lag screw and a titanium rod running from the top of the node on the femur to the knee cap, with a screw at the bottom of the rod at the knee cap. Then I have a titanium rod and 2 screws running from below my knee cap to my ankle from a break of my tibia and fibia 9 years ago. So only thing to replace would be my knee but then they wouldn't have anyway to anchor it. and there wouldn't be enough bone left to do a hip replacement if my femur breaks again, so I'm screwed, I had just better not break anything, period!
