hi everyone.  i sort of posted here fairly recently - at least thanked someone for the list of supplements we can take to help ourselves.  i almost remember who that was - i am teasing myself a little bit here - i have cognitive problems from MS, so, not really kidding.

i haven't had the fractures spelled out to me properly and am honestly trying to work up the strngth to go and make that happen.  it's really very hard - i'll bet some of you, if not all of you can relate - i hope you can/will.

i got put on a prescription for once a week by the neuro and he menitoned the fractureS.  they showed up in either xrays or mri of c- and t-spine - those were what i had done.  i am also badly injured in l-spine but we haven't done any ne3w pics there - or hip where i have a great deal of pain...and my shoulder too - although he mentioned a fracture in my... thought he said arm but i think it is wrist

i feel like a walking crushed up egg shell

one doc, my primary - who didn't get both reports... doesn't see the one about the compression fractures, so HIS new and improved advise is: join a gym, start working to strengthen those muscles to support the skeleton - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i don't argue with him.  at least this time he didn't suggest it must be from that darned fibromyalgia

from what i understand, if a person has one, 1, compression fracture, they need to be extra careful with it.  we need to not break more bones as this happened due to osteoporosis, right??? mine did - and then - NO, DO NOT RUN OUT AND JOION A GYM, but gently as we can and the fracture is healed - down the road a bit, we can add some gentle weight bearing exercise??? does that something like near to accurate? i know, i know - we are not drs - but obviously MY drs, are clowns.  ima get some real ones soon.  hugs, tahnk you - i'm really lillypotter but the new program didn't let me in so i changed to this name for an account - but i'm still lilly :)
