Hi Avni
Welcome to the Community.
I am really sorry to hear that mum has osteoporosis and has had a fall.
I hope that her pain is being helped by the morphine.
Have you spoken with the hospital about your concerns re bone cancer? A scan in the first instance sounds like a good first step.
How are you yourself? It is hard when it is your mum and she is in pain and in hospital. I am sure she is being well looked after but if you feel like talking things through would help, then please do consider giving the Support Line a call. The details are below.
I hope you both get some answers soon, in the meantime we are here if you need us.
