I am not living well with osteoporosis. I have had 2 falls recently and broke major bones. I was unaware I had fragile bones until the first fall tat occurred during a tennis game. I broke my femur. Dr told me my bones are fragile. While recovering from this break I fell on my kitchen floor and broke my elbow. I am awaiting surgery now and am so worried that I may never be able to play tennis again. Sports has been such a feel good activity my whole life. It isn’t only the sport but doing it with people I have grown to like so much over the years. I neglected to do a regularly bone density 2 yrs ago because of covid. Now look at the mess I am in!

@mklam maybe you could look into tai chi, which is also done with a community of people. I also did Nia, a low impact form of dance. Just thoughts. I have fractures too. Things do get better but they don't always go back to where they were, just to a different place that can also be enjoyable. Tymlos has brought some of my confidence back but I accept a certain level of fragility 🙂 Good luck!
