• Broken Bones
    • W.A. Skeleton

      Yes, 5 of them. Got hit with a baseball and broke my nose, hit my little toe on a door jamb and broke it, had a rib broken being moved from one gurney to another while in the hospital, fell out of a chair and broke my arm, and broke my foot just walking. I sound like an accident prone klutz!

    Actually, you sound like you may have osteoporosis. I just go the results of my bone density scan, and thank goodness, it's fine. However, the other tests were not so good. I need more neck and back surgery. Over the years, since the initial injuries, my body has attempted to cover over, and strengthen the areas where I have had two surgeries on my neck, and have three herniated L-spine discs, and though they call it arthritis in my neck and back, I call it simply an overgrowth of bone which was trying to protect my injuries from being further damaged. In any case, if I don't have surgery on my back, I won't be walking for very much longer. If I don't have more surgery on my neck, I won't be doing much of anything else, either. Go figure...

    You have a lot to contend with. It is good that you can cross off osteoporosis your list. I do have the beginning of osteoporosis--osteopena?--so I take calcium and vitamin D but they have their own side affects. Life is not always easy but it is challenging!
