I've had fracturescmsaid I needvtovwalkwith acane so do so I don't fall.also don't bend over use a thing to help me reach.Just glad II can walk anyone else had these kind of problems.
So sorry to hear about the fractures but sounds like you
are not going to let that stop you! Yes, Dr told me to use a walker so I wouldn't fall and injury my much operated on hip. He said a cane wouldn't keep me from falling but it looks like I'm much older than you so that's probably why he said that. I use the reacher's and they are great; have them in car, backyard, kitchen, bedroom. I have velcro strap tennis shoes cause tying shoes is difficult on some days. I walk in gym pool and don't have to worry about falling. It also takes 90% of body weight off joints when walking in chest deep water. Hang in there and keep moving!
Sue, you are right to be cautious. You cannot afford another fracture. I fractured my femur in 2015 and it was a long, hard road all uphill. Except for words of encouragement, which you have probably heard before, there isn't much other advice to offer I'm afraid. By the way, since I am only 5 ft tall, I have to use a grabber to reach things too!
Many yogurts have A LOT of Sugar in them (which causes inflammation) so try to find a yogurt with "less" than 5 grams of sugar per cup.
Good morning Susan, trust you are feeling much better now and used to the cane. I use mine all the time.
Here's wishing you love, Blessings, and Joy for the Festive season.

Yep, no bending, my legs are getting stronger from squatting with straight spine. No more forward bends, modified yoga. Limited weights due to shoulder issues.
