A 34-year-old mum who has cracked her ribs from sneezing is scared to hug her family for fear of breaking a bone. Her fears come after an ankle sprain triggered an incurable condition.

Now, Sarah often struggles to walk and says she is sometimes scared to hug her husband and kids for fear that it will damage her brittle bones. Sarah, who lives with her husband, Mathew, 39, said: “I try to hide how much pain I’m in because I just want to live a normal life. Sarah says she now has good days and bad days: “There will be times when the pain isn’t as bad but there are also days where just walking to the car is a struggle. In the lead-up to my wedding, I was on crutches, I couldn’t physically walk because the pain was so unbearable.

“Sometimes, I’m too scared to even hug my husband or son for fear of my bones breaking. It’s very difficult to deal with because I just want to have a normal family life.”
