Hi everyone,
I hope you are all having a good day/week.
Some of you may have read a post I posted awhile back on ankle pain. Well I went to my rheumy for my reg. check-up. I told him about the pain in my ankle. Of course he pressed on it and the surrounding area and I thought I was going to go thru the roof!
I had an MRI done and it shows I have a fracture of the tibia.
I honestly don't remember doing anything to cause the fracture!!! There are many times that I bump into something and say to myself, oh that is going to bruise later. Sure enough a bruse would show up but half the time I can remember saying I was going to get a bruise but could not remember what it was I bumped into!!:blush: I bruise easily with cause that is. Anyway I don't remember doing anything to hurt my leg/ankle and there is "no" bruise.
My question: Does lupus/sjogrens/other auto immune diseases make us more susceptible/at risk for fractures? Or am I the odd ball out there? :lol:
I would appreciate it if anyone had some knowledge on this. I feel so stupid when I am asked how I did this! I go to the ortho. surgeon friday. I can only imagine what he will think.
hno:
Take care,
Janice
