Has anyone had fractures related to their osteoporosis? If so how did you deal with it? The last time I fractured anything it was my baby toe. It was about a year and a half befores I was diagnosed but the fracture was so severe they almost wanted to do surgery and put a pin in it. I said "This is my baby toe" I ended up in a walking air cast for 9 weeks. I wonder now if I had Osteoporosis than and just didn't know it and if that's why the fracture was so bad.

Hello, I am new to your group. I am not quite into the osteoporosis diagnosis yet but and very close r/t my recent dexascan. I recently was treated for tendonitis of the left leg for four months. When the pain didn't go away, they finally got an xray and I had a fractured tibula and fibula at the ankle. I have no idea when I broke these bones. I woke up one morning and my ankle was swollen and hurt. I am on multiple meds for fibromyalgia and trigeminal neualgia and occipital neuralgia plus TMJ and constant migraines.

Just thought I'd let you know
