@susanfalcon52 I'm glad you are walking around and feeling OK. Do you know how and why you fell?

I'd like to encourage you to call or make an appointment with your primary care provider and here is why. Like you, I had a fall onto a hard surface. I fell in the garage on to a cement floor. I hit both knees very hard and one of my hands. I sat for awhile after the fall and then my partner helped me into the house. I iced my knees and my hand. I could barely move my hand. I called my doctor's office the following day and got in to see her that afternoon. She did a clinical exam and said she did not detect anything that needed imaging like an X-ray. I've been examined by her again since then and it seems like I'm OK. It's a miracle that I didn't experience any fractures.

I'm also on Evenity ( 5 months). I had a sacral fracture last year and no idea how it happened. So, I'm taking no chances on the possibility of future fractures.

It's been over a month since I fell. One of my knees is still bruised and my doctor said it is a bone contusion that will take longer to heal.

Again, I'm glad you are OK.

Helen,
Yes, I fell because I became tangled up in some vines that I was pruning. I actually feel worse today. Everything hurts. I’m sure dome motrin will take care of it. 🙂
