These vertebral fractures are devastatingly life changing. My first one was at age 55. I have since sustained multiple fractures resulting in 6 inches of height loss. This causes severe digestive problems and breathing difficulties due to internal organs being squashed into 6 inches less space.
The psychological effects are enormous as you don’t like the change in body shape. Feel totally out of control of this dreadfully painful disease. The fear of further fractures and the horrific pain never leaves your consciousness.
We desperately need more research and more effective drugs to stop this terrible progression of fractures.
