Hi TK, sorry about all the bone fractures you have had. Have you had a bone density test done? This would confirm or rule out osteo arthritis and many other bone issues. They can also tell if you have any unusual things going on. That many breaks, would warrent this non invasive type of test. Best to go in and find out if there is an underlying reason for so many fractures. I do hope you heal fast and have less pain soon. ginnie
