I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.
I think there was one great doctor for Osteoporosis, Dr. Darah Morgan. She retired. Everybody else goes by what the pharmaceutical salespeople are pushing. I do have a friend from India who is an MD… read more
Thanks! Peace, Dawn
Everything I have been told by my medical people says there is no pain with Osteoporosis
I was diagnosed at 59. Vitamin D level through the floor. I have it in my spine and hips. I have 6 monthly Prolia injection (can only have that for max 5 years). I do take collagen and exercise every day
Just starting some weights for my arms. I am trying to stay as healthy as possible as I am a carer for my mum (90) and husband. Husband has Parkinson's and requires a lot of pulling and lifting and he is… read more

I have been prescribed by a medical doctor and find it helps with anxiety, pain and elevates my mood. It is also reportedly promotes bone growth. I am still taking my Actonel but have been on CBD since June, 2018.
Am so glad that theCBD works for all of you. It didn’t even touch my pain. I got the strongest you could. Don’t remember what it was. My pain management doc gave me the info and where to order it. I… read more
When have fracture, does dr do x-ray or MRI to know for sure? Or do they assume cause of pain? How did u discover u had fracture....thru tests & Drs diagnosis?
You’re a physician will do a x-ray. He has to before you can see an orthopedic specialist.
In addition to osteoporosis, I have severe osteoarthritis in hips, knees, and feet. This is seriously impairing my ability to do many of the recommended exercises. I know I need to exercise, just seeking a program that I can do and not cause significantly more pain but still benefit from. This is all quite a balancing act!
I attend a community center where I attend 4 hours of silver sneakers exercise weekly. Excellent. Aerobics, line dancing, kick boxing. In summer, We do aquatic aerobics in outdoor pool. Love it!
Has anyone on here had an early menopause due to a hysterectomy and now suffers osteoporosis or osteopenia?
I have the Grow Bone from Garden of Life. I am afraid of the prescriptions. I broke my leg femur first then the tibia fibula just walking.
Oh great my sister took Forteo and is not on anything else..and I was never informed about another drug after😬
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,
Hi Vivian, I don’t take meds except the calcium tablets proscribed by Doctor, I take long walks most days eat plenty of fruit & vegetables & usually do Pilates 4 mornings a week, I’ve not long come… read more
Have days where you just don't feel well at all, like you're coming down with something but you don't, you're just unwell.
Yes I have days that I feel ill. There’s no explaining exactly what it is. On those days when I’m in my bed I feel that I might not wake up. It’s like an exhaustion
