Hi all I am new to this thread hope you are all well. I had a nasty fall in September and broke my hip. They operated and put a screw and plate in, all went well with operation thank God and was home a week later and they arranged physio at home to help me with being able to manage around my home. I am able to walk around the house without any aids but when I go out I have got to use a stick as my knee keeps buckling under me and I am so scared of falling again. I am usually very active playing badminton, swimming , working part time as a welfare assistant in a primary school also look after my grandson whilst my daughter is in work. I as at clinic last week for x-ray and they said everything looked fine and they are referring me for physio as they said the muscles may need strengthening. They sent me for a bone scan and results were I have osteoporosis which they are giving me treatment for. I can't wait to be able to walk properly again without any aids, or limp, I seriously think my right leg is slightly longer than my left which I did mention to the Dr and he dismissed it. I am coming up to 8 months pre up and beginning to wonder if I will ever get back to normal.
