Hard Fall

Posted by susanfalcon52 @susanfalcon52, Apr 15 6:55am

Well, yesterday I had a very hard fall onto a brick patio. I stayed there for a bit waiting to be rescued. When no rescue came, I got up and walked around.
I hurt all over, but no fractures. Hoping this is due to my 11 months on Evenity and the previous treatment with Tymlos and Forteo.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Sent some old school pals a photo of me sitting on the beach with the grandkids. They were surprised I could still get up. I said I can but it sure ain't pretty to watch. Best done at sunset when most people have gone home! And definitely no photos allowed.

freckle1,
Yes! After my hip replacement, the PT at clinic asked me to demonstrate how I got myself up from floor. This meant first getting on the floor. I said,”Now?” He said, “Yes.”
I knew I could do it, but it looks incredibly awkward.
PT wanted some work on my technique, but two other patients were more positively impressed and said that they couldn’t do step 1 - getting on floor.

I would imagine the look you gave that PT Is similar to the one my neurologist or neurosurgeon gets when asking me to stand on one foot. They do give me a hand for support.

Senior yoga 3X week for the last 6 months - I can now balance on tiptoes, heels or either foot for over 40 seconds - up from 5 seconds at a time when we started. It has mad a huge difference in my ability to avoid trips and falls.
