Does anyone use this for their osteoporosis?
I was diagnosed at 42 which was 2 years ago. Caused by to my knowledge ppi use, steroids, being very slim and other health issues. I put on 5 kgs since my scan in 2016 but still slim and had a scan this August hoping, as did my consultant, that my condition had improved. Sadly it's deteriorated in my hips and moreso in my spine.

Does anyone recommend anything natural? I don't want to take any meds bcz of severe side effects. I have severe osteoporosis pretty much all over. Thanks in advance for ur comments
I find having a spa is a great natural therapy.
I have a small stress fracture in the left femur. I’ve been off my feet using crutches for almost 3 months waiting to see if it would heal on its own. Other option presented to me is a titanium rod installed in the leg to prevent a complete fracture. Surgeon was on the fence about the necessity for doing this...consequently so am I. I’ve gotten strong arms out of all this crutch use, so it’s not entirely grim. Has anyone else had to make this decision?
Hello Im sorry to hear about your fractures. were you both on biphosphonates long term?
My doctor wants me to take Prolia injections. I have to have root canals completed and wait 3 months before I can start. I know someone who took Prolia and has lost teeth because of it. I'm concerned about that and other possible side effects.
In my research on prolia, I found that it can increase bone density, but that bone quality is inferior.
I'm 52yrs old just diagnosed with osteoporosis in my hips and the want to start proliea injection every six months, can u tell me benefits and side effects thank you
