@mandie4712 I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. It's the fear of everyone on this board, I suspect, that bone breaks such as your femoral neck and vertebral fractures leave you so incapacitated. I do hope that good medical care can get you back on your feet.

Though I'm in no way comparing my situation to yours, I have a somewhat limited ability to walk because of orthopedic problems unrelated to osteoporosis but stemming from more garden-variety problems such as stenosis and arthritis, compounded by the aftereffects of a compression fracture at L1 that resulted from a trip and fall. I'm having a two-step medical procedure starting next week that my doctor hopes will reduce the pain and allow me to walk longer distances than I can now, which is limited to about 20 to 25 minutes before the pain gets in the way.

I hope the nurse gives you good information. Your anxiety and fears are totally understandable, and I hope things get better for you.
