I am going better. Walk with a walker and that big boot now. Managing pain better.
Sorry to hear you've had such a bad ankle injury and hope you can soon be rid of the pain. Presumably you had a Dexa scan to diagnose osteoporosis? Do you know what your t scores are? Has your GP checked for any underlying causes of your bone thinning?
The pain is getting lower. I am going to physical therapy now.
I have the t scores now and the doctor prescribed Risedronate sodium (one pill a month). I have not taken it yet.
I go to my orthopedic doctor tomorrow.(2nd time with him)
No one has give me a cause yet other than old age.
peace,
diana
