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 vertebrae), and possibly a couple of broken ribs.
Cast removed after a week. Re-xrayed fibula at 4th week to find no progression whatsoever. Very disheartening as you can imagine.
If I hadn't asked the consultant any questions, I would've just been told to come back in another 3 weeks!
No advice given other than put some weight on it.
Can't find much general info on the web, let alone advice on fractures for people with fibro!
Currently I'm taking several supplements, trying to eat healthily and drink lots of water.
I've been getting bouts of depression, so to help with that I'm watching comedies, and positive YouTube stuff (it really does help).
Also trying binaural beats.
My other concern is what happens going forward. How to rebuild muscle in my back and leg, will I get arthritic pain, will the fibro get worse.
Any advice would be appreciated.
