am a 36 year old man i have 3 teenage kids that live with me i went to sleep on the 17th of jan this year and woke in alot of back pain and started to be sick got took to a and e doc ask me did i get a kicking i said no i didnt and i ask why the doc said you have 3 factsure in my back they done tests and came back i have osteoporosis and said all they can do is gave me pain killers rest of my life i fining it hard but havent been offer any help from any1 plus my depression is going down hill any1 help me
Ok so what tests did they do?
Did they say what type of fracture (compression, wedge or fragmented)?
Are you in a back brace?
The reason I ask is that on 7th Jan I was doing a handstand with kids, fractured a vertebrae and was then diagnosed with osteoporosis, however I had a dexa scan, I'm in a back brace (still) and it can take 3-6 months to heal providing no complications and that's for 1 fracture so I would expect you to be receiving more care.
I note the depression also, search celiac disease on the net (symptoms) do you have at least say 5? Depression is one
Celiac disease is highly undiagnosed and leads to young osteoporosis......it's just a hunch
Sorry I should have said I'm also male and 37
i dont really no xrays scans was pretty out of it dont rember much no back brace they said they dont do that any more i have had depression for 8 years pretty bad some times for no reson at all i havent really been told much by any1 tbh i have had 1 appointment at the factsure clinic and am up nx week am really confess with it all most of the time the pain is that bad that i boke they have me on a tablet i take once a week and pain killers its alot for me to take in at 36 am fit played football all my life
