A member asked:

Last year i broke my arm. this year my finger. do i have brittle bones?

Not necessarily: If you have a high risk life style maybe you have bad luck. Family hx of bone disease or your age can be reasons for frequent injuries. This is a great question to ask your orthopedist who has your medical background to give you a more accurate opinion.
