Broke my foot in the summer, which led to a bone density scan. Diagnosed with established osteoporosis. Have started Bisphosphonates and seem OK. Gone back on HRT - had a lovely chat with GP (lady) tonight when I had a smear. Got copy of mega blood tests - and one of the results ESR is raised and my googling leads me to think rheumatoid arthritis in there too. Might explain my back aches and morning stiffness for the last five years.
My foot is painful but not at break site, still swollen and sore.
Going back to GP on Wednesday morning for a review and update.
Anyone want to offer solace and support. Am 55 and feeling pretty pissed off and ancient. Children are 21 and 17 and I was planning am planning to work until I'm 70! I love work. I love life. I have everything to live for. I usually feel fairly attractive.
Have started 1:1 pilates for cores strength.
Anyone in a similar situation and overcome it all. I am usually the eternal optimist but fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck!!!!!
