I have shrunk 4” in the last year. Three fractures last September and more late last October when I was feeling better and decided to get something out of the oven that slipped causing me to fall. Ugh!!! I so wish I had called my husband in from mowing to get it out. What is disheartening is how my innards have compacted. Also, I never thought I was a vain person but I am. I look terrible in my clothes because I’m so hunched over.

Oh how this is so identical to my experience…when I lost the first few inches I thought for sure they had measured me wrong and then after more fractures to have lost even more height was crazy - looking at myself in the mirror makes me cringe - the hunched shoulders and protruding stomach was so alarming at first and now I just try to avoid catching sight of my reflection.

I am so sorry you've lost so much height and the other changes to your body. Can you explain about issues with your innerds and about what can heal and what doesn't? My husband is the one with osteoporosis and he's definitely shorter. I noticed it after his first fracture and then noticed it more after his second and third. We've stopped at three, fingers crossed, the last x-ray showed they are stabilizing and he just started on Forteo shots. Praying they work! I'm sorry you are both living with this. Watching what he's going through, I can only imagine how difficult it is. I truly feel for all of you!

Hi look terrible too. As women are appearance obviously is Huge thing and makes the pain even worse..
I have a question for everyone in pain, I know drinking With?
Painkillers or ambien You're supposed to be very dangerous , but do you think a few sips of wine after I took ambien would really kill me ?
