So I broke a lot of bones up until 2012. But after that, the breaking continued.
I quit working at the end of 2013, but broke my feet several times that summer.
In 2015, I had a bone spur in my left shoulder removed through surgery.
In April I broke my right ankle and had to be on crutches. I didn't have surgery, although I needed it. I had to wait more than a year.
In late 2015 I was assaulted and had a torn rotator cuff, and partially dislocated my shoulder, has surgery in February 2016.
In August 2016 I finally had ankle surgery, I was supposed to stay only one night, but due to complications, I was there for 2 and a half weeks.
I spent 2 and a half months in rehab. I required 3 more surgeries, as the first one was not done correctly, and the surgeon permanently disabled me for life.
I keep injuring that ankle, almost 10 years after the first accident, but no one can help me anymore.
I also broke my left wrist while I was dealing with the ankle, but don't recall exactly when that was.
I've had bone density testing and everything is good, but I do have arthritis in that ankle now.
Lets see. Foot when I was 11. Then a finger in 2007 I think. Then toe in 2010. Then over the last year and a bit, foot 3 times! Now, today I can add...

The way you talk, you should or sound like you might have brittle bone disiese. Did you ever have a skin biospy done?

No I haven't. But despite all my accidents with my ankle since the initial break, I haven't broken anything in the ankle again.

@kris182_2000 well, brittle bone dease ranges in severaity, and is usually tested through the skin. Its not necessarily your bones are less dense, but they could lack a conponant that makes them more prone to breaking.
