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
,back and hands hurt the most. But my doctors say there is no pain with osteoporosis until you have a fracture or break. And X-rays have not shown much arthritis. How "much" do I need to have for them to explain the pain I have? Have any of you had pain without fracture or arthritis?
i'm not sure what type of osteoporisis I have. Type 1 or Type 2? I was diagnosed with osteoporsis when i was about 54 years old post menopausal.
mmm that's April last year for the minimal trauma # with a slip/ fall...
I was diagnosed today. I haven’t stopped crying. I have been a very healthy person. I’m scared after reading about the side effects of all those medications. I wonder if there are people who have decided not to take any medication and treat it just with a good diet and exercise. Is that a good idea?
Thanks,

I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.

There are some research articles on sites such as PubMed et al that address possible links between osteoporosis and macular degeneration, as well as the taking of biophosphonates for osteoporosis and macular degeneration. If one is currently taking biophosphonates for osteoporosis and develops macular degeneration, should one discontinue taking the osteoporosis medicine? I've been taking osteoporosis biophosphonates for 22 months and was just recently diagnosed with moderate dry macular… read more
Please learn about the effects of biophosphomates. I ended up with severe osteoporosis, a parathyroid tumor and kidney stones from them. Learn about vitamin K2. Let my mistakes help you. A good place… read more
Since my diagnosis, I have had loose teeth and I have lost some teeth. Does this have to do with osteoporosis or is it something else>
Since I have osteoporosis, I have learned how important it is to take really good care of my teeth. When I am at home, I floss "and" brush after "every" meal or snack. I use a water pick every… read more
I have Osteoporosis, do I still need to get Dexa scans done? Or once your diagnosed with osteoporosis, then you don't need any more Dexa scans ?
Thank you
You should have quite regular scan I was told by past doctors but the one I have now says no.
My mother was dying of kidney failure as well as heart failure and was left unconscious from a stroke. Her bones broke very easily, and nurses had to be careful turning her. I was told at the time that she had osteomalacia, but she had compression fractures before, and I thought she had osteoporosis then.
Old age
I’m afraid the chiropractor may break my bones or am I being dramatic,
thank you for your info!
Thank you I’m still not taking it, I’ve got an Hitus hernia coming up threw my Oesopacus ( pls excuse spelling) besides many more health problems but a lot of my medication as different side effects… read more
