Multiple Fractures-Car Accident

i was in a car accident months ago while walking on a crosswalk i was hit.....i had multiple fractures and broke my right fibula...i was in a cast for about 2months and it healed on its own because i really didnt want surgery again ...[previously broke my left fibula on a slip n slide]....now , sometimes the top pary of my fibula , about 3 inches away fromthe outter part of the right kneee hurts, it feels like its all of a sudden pops out and the pain is excruciating, it feels like someone hit me as hard as possible with a hammer, what do you think it is

Hi

The common complications of fibular fracture include neurovascular compromise, compartment syndrome, peroneal nerve injury, infection, gangrene, osteomyelitis, delayed union, nonunion, malunion and post-traumatic arthritis and fat embolism.

You might be having some infection or malunion of the joint which is causing pain.

You should promptly consult an orthopedic surgeon for follow-up and aggressive treatment. An x-ray lower leg might be required to diagnose the problem exactly. In the meanwhile, you may get pain relief from some nonsteroidal- anti-inflammatory agents and analgesics.

Take care.
