I was diagnosed and sent on my way with painkillers which don't help much at all and no further information.
Same here Lynette with painkillers I only take paracetamol 🌈
I had a t-score of -6.4 in lower back. I been battling 3-5 broken ribs for 3 years, and only one has healed a long with
a lung hernia that keep getting larger. I took Forteo for 2 yrs and now my Doctor wants me to take Bonivia
I already have jaw bone loss, gum problems, acid re flux, have had bleeding ulcers in the past, and was told
I had the makings of barrettes esophagus all of which Bonivia can cause. I am going to have to discuss this with

I had been taking Forteo injections for two years and did have an increase in my T-score, especially the hip area. Then once off for a few months for some dental work before starting Prolia, I fell and broke my hip. Now I experience anxiety, experience thigh pain when I am up for an extended period of time.
Has anyone else ever had a fracture while on treatment?
thoracic compression fractures causing much discomfort under ribs / top of distended abdomen: constipation also

Other than stretches / physio exercises anything I can do about it?

I have osteoporosis,and I am happy to say I have not had any broken bones! My bone density test show my 60 year old bones are like that of an 80+ year old women.However I am in pain every day, my knees,hips

I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.
I think there was one great doctor for Osteoporosis, Dr. Darah Morgan. She retired. Everybody else goes by what the pharmaceutical salespeople are pushing. I do have a friend from India who is an MD… read more
