Hi Sarah, its unbelievable that your mum wasn't offered bone protection! Wow, thats amazing! I was told to take calcium and vitamin D supplements to assist with all that! Do you know if she has developed osteoporosis or had tests for this? I ask because I had to be tested for this due to 2 disks that had fractured in my upper back a long time ago (I didnt even know!). Fortunately I don't have osteoporosis but have very thin bones and am at risk of developing oesteoporosis. I was told there are a few drugs they can offer to protect the bones and treat osteoporosis to stop any further fractures. Glad to hear your mum still has a sense of humour too! My mum is doing well now...she still gets tired but seems to be coping well which is good.
Thanks for your best wishes, Celeste
