windyshores, you are so interesting. Did you have cascade fractures. Was there anything to help prevent the fractures from deepening, like bracing. It sounds as though you learned to recognize the feeling of fracturing.

The fractures were, um, obvious. Extreme pain. Three were traumatic (2006) w/borderline bones, and three were osteoporotic (2021, unwise movement). I did not have a brace until much later for the 2006 fractures since my PCP kept saying the x-ray was negative. I requested a soft brace in 2021 but rarely used it- only for pain relief. I was told the brace would weaken muscles and ultimately make recovery harder.
