How's things NWgirl69? You're at about 6 months now aren't you?

Hi Ninjamom Sounds very similar to my experience, in terms of.. lack of healing. For the first 3 visits to the fracture clinic, there was little evidence on the xrays of any collagen build up. I've still got (or been left with) strange dark patches in a couple of places near the injury. One...

Hi NWgrl69 What have you fractured? How long ago? My vertebrae breaks were avulsion. I remember nights being the worst time. Couldn't get comfortable, got weird spasms, and yes, far more painful at night. No idea why. Maybe because the body does more healing during sleep?? I got no advice...

Hi all. New here. Put off joining in the past due to brain fog etc. I am looking for advice from anyone with fibro who's suffered a broken bone. I recently fell from a height and broke my fibula (skinny long bone of lower leg) and 3 lumbar transverse processes (the sticky out bits on your...
