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

mmm that's April last year for the minimal trauma # with a slip/ fall...
I always thought that the pain in my joints, especially in my hands and knees was just part of aging. Now I don't know if the pain is from osteo or just age
I don’t have any pain from Osteoporosis but have a lot from Osteoarthritis. Also have Osteopenia that can be painful at times.
When a bone is brittle osteopenia or osteoporosis it just mean we don't make enough of it as its a living organ. It doesn't get replaced Thank Mr google
