Thankyou for this. It's seems I had a lower spine fracture years ago which I knew nothing about but this summer I got two fractures in the thoracic spine for no reason whatsoever . I have been referred to the osteoporosis clinic but only after my insistence on getting an x-ray on my spine. I knew it wasn't just a muscle pull or an osteoarthritic flare up - that was the GP diagnosis. She resisted and said we don't normally give x rays for back pain! I know my own body. What Is More I've taught physiology and other sciences so I'm pretty clued up and maybe somewhat challenging to deal with when a professional is telling me something which I know is fundamentally wrong. Besides which I'm medicated for osteoporosis (alendronic acid and advocal) for the past five years at least. The pain was horrendous and I could barely move for 3 months. However, even though it must have healed now . I still am in pain and I don't know what to do about it. I've been practicing daily yoga for years but now I'm too scared to do any. I've been to the swimming pool once a week for the last month. Whereas I was a good swimmer, (former sub aqua diver) I just float about and move my limbs gently, too frightened to go into a front crawl. I'm desperate to know what I can do to help myself with this condition in yoga and swimming. They have been my 'exercise life' . Oh and I used to dance a lot. I'm 71
Still waiting for my referral appointment.

Your not even mention you need help with a shower or bath, so things are really hard on the person that has certain area pains! So talk about that as well! Where do you buy Tens Machine?
