weakened bones and ankle stress fractures

Hi Charley, and welcome, can I ask if your taking anything to strengthen your bones, and do you have any other conditions that weaken bones stenosis or osteoporosis maybe?. Your absolutely right about HT weakening bone, so your team should have prescribed Calci D, Vitamin C or bisphosphonates early in your treatment, l have over 30 bone mets, all over, luckily not all painful and the treatments are a big help along with short walks in impact reducing shoes, swimming 3x a week and not lifting anything over 8kg, PS I have osteoporosis and stenosis too, I hope some of this is helpful, and others pop along soon.

Hey thanks for your kind reply xx I’m on zoledronic  and take vit d and c. I read yesterday that ZA can cause bones to stress fracture also so will see what my first dexa scan comes back with. Thanks a lot and well done on being active. Driving's me a bit mad not being able to walk and swimbut hopefully they will heal soonish xx 

Your very welcome Charley, and it's good to hear your on bone treatments, aye it seems everything comes with side effects my 1st bisphosphonates were Alendronic Acid, pills, and messed up my gastrictract, so switched to Zolendronicno issues yet. I really hope you'll be walking a little more soon and your Dexa brings good news too, and thank I can't walk far, but being independent is wonderful, hey adding more protein to your diet can quicken fractures, best wishes my friend.

Charles, that sentence should have said, adding more protein to your diet can quicken the healing of fractures.
