My Bones Break & Teeth Shatter With The Softest Touch | BORN DIFFERENT

20-YEAR-OLD Siri was born with a rare brittle bone disease called hypophosphatasia (HPP) - she just didn't know it until three years ago. Having broken numerous bones and teeth "with ease" throughout the course of her life, Siri and her mom Katherine suspected for a long time that there was an underlying condition at play. Siri told Truly how she "broke three ribs getting out of bed" and "shattered a tooth just eating a sandwich" and with no official diagnosis until she was 17 years old, damage had already been done. A particularly complex break of her elbow when she was just five years old was repaired by doctors at the time - or so Siri thought. Unfortunately, her bones did not heal correctly and she was left with a trapped nerve in her arm - something she recently underwent surgery for, 15 years on from the original injury. As we follow Siri to her physiotherapy appointment, will she be able to push through the pain barrier to regain the full function of her arm? And now that she is able to take her official diagnosis to the haters online in order to set the record straight, will she be able to prove to them once and for all that there is nothing "fake" about her condition?
