[quote=Anonymous] Please talk me down. I’m 52: diagnosed with osteoporosis at 49, menopause at 48. Small-to-fragile frame. Under treatment for osteoporosis and have taken fosamax since diagnosed. Yesterday, while doing my doctor-ordered hard surface walking, I tripped and fell and broke my ankle. This is my first ever bone break. Using crutches and leg wrapped until I get a cast. I’m looking for words of wisdom from anyone else w/ osteoporosis who has broken a bone. I'm trying not to be overwhelmed, but am feeling scared about a potential lengthy recovery. I’ve already given up skiing and skating - two of my favorite things -since getting the osteoporosis diagnosis. Also feeling anxious about missing work and losing independence while I recover. I have a super helpful and loving DH and a DC who is happily looking after me and keeping me distracted. Nice people of dcum: help![/quote]
