Today, as I was getting x-rays of my arm, I heard one technician ask another, "Are you sure those are hers?" At 17, I have weaker bones than my grandma. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got an X-ray and the nurse happened to mention the old break in my leg. Mom always said it was my twin brother who'd broken his leg. Can you see where this is going? I have now confirmed that at some point mom mixed me and my brother up, so we’ve being using each other’s names for 35 years FML
Today, I know my grandma has been getting frail as she rapidly approaches the ripe old age of 80, but I had no idea it was so bad that she could break her arm by sneezing. When I tried to explain this to the ER doctors, they all started snickering. Yeah, I don't believe it either, doc. FML
Today, a nurse berated me for not being able to lift my leg myself so she could put a cast on. My leg is broken in two places. FML
Today, I finally sorted out my health insurance and went to the doctor. After seeing my X-rays and confirming I still had scoliosis, he also confirmed arthritis in both hips, 2 exploded discs and that I have "the back of a 50 year-old." I'm 24. FML
Today, while picking up my 14-year-old sister, a friend of hers asked if I was her mother. I'm only 17. FML
Today, a girl asked me to check out her left breast, which she said she'd found a strange lump on. I'm an orthodontist. FML
Today, based on recent x-rays, I have the right knee of a 60-year-old, the left knee of a 70-year-old, and the right hip joint of a 100-year-old who's been dead for 15 years. I'm only 19 years old and my doctor says I'm gonna need two walking sticks by the time I'm 25. FML
Today, I had to X-ray an 81 year old lady. The clothes she was wearing would show up on the X-ray so I had to make her change into a gown. I found out the hard way that 81 year olds still go commando. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth taken out. The two male doctors told me they'd give me anesthesia, but when they did, I could still hear them. I heard them talking about my breasts and how flat they were for a 17 year old. FML
Today, I went to the gym with my grandma. In the span of an hour, she was hit on more than I ever have been in my life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

that's not good. try getting more calcium in your diet. milk actually isn't the best source of it, but its still better than nothing. tums might be a good idea. its pure calcium, i think.

It could be a bone disorder. I dated a guy who had, as he said, "brittle bones." They were extremely weak and broke easy. It was a genetic thing.

Dont take too many tums....too much calcium intake can cause a different disease all together. Eat a well balanced diet and most importantly get daily sunshine. People don't realize that sunlight is a way for our body to make calcium and vit D. The precise reason lonely old people are weak bc they're indoor all the times.

Doing weight bearing exercise like lifting weights as well as increasing calcium and vitamin D intake will help you increase your bone density. If you stay indoors alot and dont get alot of exersice your bone desity goes to hell.

As someone with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, I feel for you. The right diet and some meds should go a long way with you if this is the first incident. Of course, it's the doctor's advise you should listen to.

You're not just stuck with your bones the way they are, bones are constantly being broken down and remodeled. In general weight training, regular exercise, vitamin D and proper diet could rapidly increase bone density. It's incredibly important to your body to get enough calcium and phosphorous. If you don't get enough your body will actually break down your bones to keep your blood calcium levels where they need to be. But obviously have a long chat with a doctor or two, you could easily be doing everything right and still have bone density issues.
