Case history
A 32 years old female presented to our clinic in May 2012 complaining of generalized bony pain and inability to walk for the last 2 years (wheel chair bound ).
12 years ago she had thrombocytopenia which improved with steroid treatment & splenectomy.
She has been receiving steroids for the last 12 years in the form of prednisone 60mg/d for 10 years which was decreased gradually to 10mg/d over the last 2 years.
She hasn’t been receiving any anti-osteoporotic treatment.
