Osteoporosis, Brittle Bones & Sprained Knee

My Mum slipped while washing the bathroom and sprained her knee. She suffered from pain and had problem lifting her leg few days ago.

My fear was not baseless. She has brittle bones due to osteoporosis; and her bone density was pretty low.

I could not imagine if she had fallen and hurt herself seriously: she could be moaning in pain, or remained unconscious till evening when my Dad or younger brother returned home.

After the X-ray scan, it was a relief to know that no bone was mashed or broken.

Currently she is on medication and is fast recovering. At her age, she can be very fragile.
