Fracture

[Jeanmh]

Morning to all .I was diagnosed with GCA in October and at the same time syatica was in a lot of pain .On the 24th December my spine fractured had MRI found I have had two more fractures in the past but this last one as been horrendous never had pain like it .It is two months now and I am only just managing to stand up and walk a little with a walking aid .The pain gets really bad if I try to stand without any help.The last fracture is in the lumber it's the fiveth disc area .Will I ever get myself mobile or am I expecting to much of myself .It is really good having people on this site to help with our problems we all get thank you all x

Hi Jeanmh

Sorry to read of your issues 🌺hopefully it will improve but until those bones heal it will be painful so you do need to use your walking aid.

Have you had a Dexa Scan or do you know if have osteoporosis? I have a lot of knee & back pain at the moment so can sympathise with you greatly.

I went for lunch with 'The Girls' yesterday, we were all popping pain Meds with lunch & exited using the outdoor lift rather than using the stairs but we had a good few laughs & felt better for it!

It is good to know we have friends here we can ask questions or just have a chat with.

Best Wishes
