  • I have graves and went through RAI treatment. I also have connective tissue disorder. Now It seems I'm developing Diabetes on top of everything else.

  • hi there! I've never dealt with microfracture, but I did spend 18 months on crutches once with no weight bearing on my left leg so I can sympathize about how you must feel.

  • thanks DeeDee. It's been a really strange 3 years since I was diagnosed with the UDCTD. I"m hoping things start improving in the weight loss department.
