Bone Density Test shows High Risk.
Hi Barbara. Cannot download her checklist. Will not come up at all. Page says error and that it cannot be found.
The best way to figure out how much vitamin D you need to take is by monitoring your levels with blood tests periodically.
My most recent DEXA scan was evaluated and I have been informed that I have osteopenia. I do experience hip pain in both of my hips. I have been doing exercise and have done physical therapy.
You mention the hip fractures as they relate to osteoporosis. Can you share information as it relates to osteopenia.
Thanks got a blood test Wensday I will let you know its 14 weeks after infusions have a hug 🫂 🤗

Thanks,

Thanks London for your information I am still looking into everything as I have not long been in out of hospital again x
It’s improved my bone density somewhat and the Endocrinologist at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital was pleased that my Lumbar spine is now Osteopinea, wrists and hips are not so good.
I am concerned about the stomach bloating and constipation of my bowel.
My question is does Aledronic Acid +Caliciferol with Vitamin D (Fonat Plus) cause gum ulceration and pain as this is an ongoing problem. Could it be the Acid component?
