Open Fracture Increased Pain

2017-09-02 13:09:43
Open fracture on foot with 7 breaks. I was told it would be very painful if not elevated. But i never had a problem with pain before leaving hospital. Since getting home even when going to the toilet pain is excruciating and it feels tight when not elevated. They did say this would happen but it never happened before leaving hospital? Cast is loose
