I fractured my pelvis 8 months ago (crushed injury as a result of motor vehicle accident). I had surgery and rehad, i am able to ambulate with a limp & some left lower extremity weakness due to sciatia nerve injury I sustained. I am preparing to return to work but I am unsure as my job is physically demanding. I am also concerned because i am experiencing intermittent hip pains. I am a 42 yr old female. My bladder is intact however i am experiencing urinary frequency in the absence of a urinary tract infection.

I work in retail,I am concerned that I will not be able to return to dept. Manager job. I too fractured my inferior pelvic ramas bone when I fell at work. It's been 2 1/2 weeks since my fall. They want me to return in any complexity. How long will it be until I can expect some normalcy.

Dear Mona -
I noticed that we haven't heard back from you since you posted your question and Susan responded. I hope you're continuing to recover and have had a chance to talk with your doctor about your bladder problem. We would love to get an update from you and learn more about your progress. Take good care.
