    You need to be doing weight bearing exercises. Plain old walking is the best.

    I would consult a physiotherapist.

    I broke several bones as a youngster, and is only as an adult that my physio (not my doctor, who I had seen SEVERAL times) said they thought I had had juvenile osteoporosis!

    If you just have one session, they can advise you and prob give you exercises to do at home too :smile:
