I only go by my bone density and even though I have been seeing a specialist for the past five years I am not aware of different types of osteo - please explain, thanks
I am type one, I had a hysterectomy when I was 24, both ovaries - instant menopause.
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.
