He was checking for pain in specific spots...moving my extended leg gently in a lateral movement (as opposed to up and down).

The pain responses as noted were 'standard' he said...

I gave him a pretty descriptive account of the situation, and the sounds heard during the incident..specific areas that exeperienced swelling and loss of ROM etc. This seemed to satisfy him.. His exam was brief and thorough imo.

We'll see what the X-rays show in the morning.

Oh, I didn't know that the x-rays weren't examined already...usually those are readily available after the exposures have been taken...

It sounds like something more than the ordinary if the doc is going to cast your leg from the hip down. That sounds serious to me.

Hopefully all you're experiencing is just a strain, which as you already know, only time will heal.

Good luck,
