I’m not sure how I feel about my appointment with Dr. Smitherman. He seemed to brush off my concerns about my 7 ankle fractures being caused by osteopenia. He said I was too young to treat for osteopenia, which I understand, but I am also concerned that if I am not treated for the osteopenia, it will develop into osteoporosis sooner. I did not feel like I received any answers.
