Hello

I started a post here but then a survey interrupted.
Now I can't find it.
Going to ED today.
I have had trouble walking for about a week or more. Didn't stop me.
Last few days have pain in legs and back.
Walking like a robot.
My greatest fear with this MAC and Osteoporosis was losing my ability to walk. No matter how much I staggered at least I was walking. The pain is also interfering with my AC.
Wish me luck.
If you pray. Please say a prayer.
Thanks

I also have had trouble walking due to an untreated autoimmune disorder. This is separate from my BE and MAC. I felt so much better once it was treated. Praying that you find the answers soon!

Hello @sheila7a

I hope you are doing better. Did you get any help for your pain and walking problem?

Hello.
In the hospital since Wednesday
I guess fractured my pelvis somehow.
Had an operation.
They put a long screw(?) in to stabilize pelvic area.
Using a walker and see PT and OT.
I didn't fall nothing like that.
Was out and about shopping, walking, driving.
I do have osteoporosis and worry about the coughing and trying to huff.
I will have to read up on the whole procedure on my chart, plus will see the resident doctors Monday.
Thanks for asking.

@sheila7a Ow, Sheila, sending healing thoughts your way. I hope your recovery is uneventful.
Keep up the huff coughing - you don't want to add lung issues. Can you ask to see respiratory theray for help with safer ways to huff and cough?
