My 5 to son recently had leg cast removed, for a broken femur on leftside. He is now in a leg brace for the next 2-4 months. When he tried to stand up he lost his balance and fell. He screamed and cried, horribly. I put him on sofa, did my best to comfort him. A few hrs later, I tried to check his leg, but he freaked out again, he doesn't want us to move him or touch his leg. What symptoms should I see to determine the need for ER visit or PCP visit?

Your son should be re-examined by his primary care doctor immediately.
I would recommend you take him to the Orthopedic surgeon who put the cast on and removed it and find out about getting him into a rehab program to regain his strength and stability. Movement is necessary for any rehab program but the fracture should be re x-rayed and make sure it's stable first. If you find out everything is stable get him into rehab right away so he doesn't lose mobility and strength. Best of luck with your son and his recovery.
