P. 3
Now that I no longer suyer from osteoporosis I can look back at it as
just a horrible – but distant – memory.
These days I run no risk of fractures or breaks in the way I did then.
Thank goodness.
But at the time it was no joke.
I’d fractured my ankle stepping oy a kerb. I hadn’t slipped or
stumbled. I just put my foot down normally and the ankle gave way.
My health practitioner was worried that such a simple act should
result in a fracture so she sent me for a bone density test.
My t-score came back as -2.9.
Which meant not only were my bones becoming more fragile… they
were wholly in the osteoporosis range.
That was a heck of a shock. I mean, I ate very well – including lots of
milk, cheeses and greens which are the very best sources of
calcium. I didn’t smoke, I always felt okay – I considered myself to be
a healthy person. So how on earth did I end up like this?
Naturally, I wanted to quickly be rid of this condition. But more
surprises followed.
The |rst surprise was |nding out that there’s no such thing as an
osteoporosis ‘specialist’.
There’s no particular health professional you go to when you |nd you
have the condition.
And so one reason that osteoporosis care isn’t exactly great is
because nobody in the health profession actually ‘owns’ the
condition.
