Disability would not think so, I assume you are Osteopenic, your bone density is not good. However they have treatments and you need to be eating lots of calcium in your diet.
I cracked my little toe off a teak chair and went OUCH! Then I went OMG OUCH! The following day the entire foot and ankle were purple so I went to see the Doc. He did not understand it? I then told him I had broken that ankle years ago, whereupon it placed a tight bandage around the entire foot and told me to keep off it. For some reason the ankle break years ago, has some affect on the broken bone in the foot? He was so glad I went to him and not ER, as they would have put me in plaster and with being Osteopenic not a good idea!
