Geez, Hermes -

Very sorry to hear that you fell. Yes, that would definitely shake one up, but lucky you didn't break the leg again.

And hearing the word "idiopathic" would make anybody worry. I will me if I hear it in a few weeks. Regardless, I'm going to insist on more lab work if it isn't suggested. As cyclelops says, idiopathic means there IS a cause - they just haven't found it.

Can you see your way clear to doing the same re: more testing? The fact that your leg actually collapsed and you fell should be a large red flag for the docs to continue looking at your case.

Best wishes,

Sheltiemom
