Members showed curiosity about bone fragility clinics after a newly diagnosed member asked what to expect, with one member planning to visit an endocrinologist at KU Med to develop a health plan and promising to share what they learn. Several members offered advice on exercise, explaining that weight-bearing activities like walking and weightlifting are most beneficial for bone health, while swimming, biking, and yoga are less helpful because they don't provide the necessary weight-bearing stress. A recurring theme was the supportive eagerness of the community to learn alongside each other, with multiple members asking for updates and sharing a collective interest in understanding the best treatment approaches for managing bone fragility.

Swimming doesn't help as it is not weight bearing. I was also told riding a bike and yoga are unhelpful. Walking is very good, and if you can weightlifting. Go on to utube there are a number of weight beaing exercises you can do.

I'm just going to make an appointment and hope my insurance pays. If you Google it there are several places defined that way, but most of the info is on fracture recovery. My PCP recommended it because I really don't know what treatment plan to follow. Will give more info as I figure it out.

I have many serious fractures and breaks. My physician is referring me to KU Med to see an endocrinologist and determine what health plan I need. I will post when I meet with them.
