Thanks for the inputs that I got to my question – I see my endo next Mon. and I will put the question re. pretibial myxedema on my list of questions to him. Also, has anybody else had stress fractures since being diagnosed?? I’ve read that GD takes calcium out of the bones. I’ve had two stress fractures in the past 18 months. One of which was my tibia – which, I might add – took 4 months to heal. Right after
X-mas this year I started to limp on my foot and low and behold I had a fractured bone in the top of my foot!! (It should be noted that I didn’t fall to cause these fractures – I was exercising on a daily basis – for about a half hour – just walking. I walked on this last fracture for almost 6 weeks because it didn’t show up on a regular x-ray – it finally showed up in a bone scan. Since my endo runs an osteoporosis center – I’m going to ask if he’ll order a bone density test. It would be interesting however, to know how many other people out there may have suffered from these same kind of fractures. Thanks again for your help.
