@joan26 I can relate, with 7 spinal fractures. People don't realize how much pain and disability can result, as well as a loss of independence. I wonder if you have done or are doing any bone-building drugs like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity.

I cannot do much but my daughter is visiting and noticing I am a little stronger than last year right after 4 of the fractures. Meaning, I can lift a little more. (I don't mention the pain.) I am on Tymlos.

I am lucky- I can drive. In fact the support of my car seat actually helps. Loss of driving would be tough since walking while carrying is hard.
