Can you experience pain years after your broken femur is treated?

Unfortunately, your femur can still hurt long after your fracture heals. There are many possible causes for this pain – called chronic pain. Possible causes include:

• Nerve damage from the initial fracture or treatment.
• Scar tissue.
• Arthritis.
• Nonunion. Your bones don’t heal.
