A member asked:
I have been breaking a lot of bones lately. i did as a child too. i have suffered over 14 fractures, many over last 3 what is wrong with my bones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some people that have multiple fracture may have had legitimate injuries that have caused fractures through normal bone; others will have something wrong with their bones that causes them to fracture. A work up including a bone density test and blood work should be done at a minimum. Thank you.
