No. My mother-in-law suffered from osteoporosis - to the extent that she
twice suffered spontaneous fratures of her spine. She was constantly in
pain.

After injections to her spine, she was great and could walk to the shops
and carry bags back, but she needed injections every 6 months and the
NHS would not let her book her next appointment until 6 months elapsed -
and then there was a 3 month waiting list. Each time, as she was getting
towards 9 months, she'd be absolutely crippled and hardly able to move.

I myself am not registered disabled, but some days I can walk half a
mile or stand for half an hour on the train and then, in reaction, the
following day I can hobble to or from the car and that's it!
