I did go to urgent care, had x-rays done confirming the fracture. I have extreme osteoporosis and had been told by my rheumatologist a fall and broken bone could be life-altering. I am a 65 years old widow. I have to worked for 31 years with my current employer and will not be eligible for full retirement for 2 more years. I have been to urgent care and 2 orthopedic surgeons and finally I have an appointment with my rheumatologist tomorrow 1/23/26.
You should photograph the area where you fell before it’s repaired or altered. Try to take the pictures at roughly the same time of day so the lighting conditions match. You should also consult an attorney in your jurisdiction who handles these cases on a contingency‑fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless there is a recovery. If you’d like, you can contact one of us and we can help connect you with a contingency‑fee attorney at no cost.
