I have severe osteoporosis, my bones are the age of a woman 87, I am 45. This illness was discovered following a grand mal seizure in which I passed on, and in order to revive me, my spouse hit my chest and back alternately so I would breath, which worked, but ended up breaking 4 vertibrae, which also wasnt spotted by the hospital, and it wasnt until a week following I insisted on an xray, then tah-dah.
Anyhow, I often break bones, primarily my toes and fingers.
About 3 wks ago, I fell and it was so late at night, I just took a pain killer and went to bed. I woke up a few hours later with searing pain from my foot up my thigh.
I saw my Dr a few days later, and she gave me a request for an x-ray. I didnt have time to get it done right away, and my foot is still bothering me - my question is - would a broken bone still show on an x-ray this far after the fact? Is there anything they do for a break along the side of your foot? And third, I have had so many x-ray's, CT scans and MRI's in the last year, I worry about getting more, is this an invalid fear?
Thanks to anyone that can help me out with info.
