Leather Tub Sofas
Why do I keep fracturing my toes?
Is there some kind of ‘fragile bone’ disease I don’t know about? I fractured my little toe about 4 years ago, pretty badly. Two years ago, I did it again. This past year, I did it twice (same toe all times), and this last week I fractured my middle toe (same foot). At all times, I have just been doing normal activities around the house (hit against tub as I was stepping in, hit against chair twice, hit against leather sofa last week, hit against door jamb of my sister’s house) . . .two of the worse times, I went in for xrays to confirm the fracture, the other times, I could tell by the symptoms. I am 29 years old, so it’s not like I’m in line to break a hip or something. However, I do have diabetes, and I worry that this will have any long term effect, if I every have toe neuropathy? Next week, at my eye exam, we’ll rule out any peripheral vision defect . . .
when you break a bone, there is greater chance for the same bone to be re-broken in the future. since you keep breaking the same toes over and over, it weakens the bone structure. of course, Osteoporosis (brittle bone disease) can strike at any time, especially if it runs in the family. talk to your doctor, and rule out any associations with the diabetes.
