A member asked:

Feel like i broke scaphoid bone and i found out i'm anemic, are these conditions connected in any way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: Lack of iron causing anemia and weak bones due to vitamin D deficiency may point to poor nutrition. I trust that you are seeing a doctor for the fracture and anemia. It is prudent to discuss the issue with your doctor.
