Does Fosomax actgually work? Does Prolia actually work? Bad side effects for everything. Sometimes I think I want to just do nothing. Because I still work, (have to) still paying for my kids college and 10 more yrs of house payments, etc. My doctor even comments that "sometimes there is breaks in the femur" or other bones" while using this mediciation. Isn't it supposed to make them strong instead of weaker? I think Medicine sometimes causes other problems. I wouldn't have this if I… read more
Per my PCP's advise I took Actonel for my severe osteoporosis. After 10 mos. I stopped taking it because of the horrible side effects (fever, nausea, digestive issues, hair loss). He is now pushing me to take Prolia and I really want to try a natural route (without side effects) for a year until my next bone density test. Thinking of AlgaeCal Plus/Strontium Boost. Any opinions?
Still on Prolia after 9 years. Dexa due October, will report results.
No side effects and last Dexa 2020 was positive.
This is where I have shrunk so much, 8 inches, that my lower ribs are now inside my hip/pelvis area. Nothing to be done for it, just suffer. I am feeling so compressed and uncomfortable.

My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.
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 just had two my Kyphoplasties at t7 and t11. They relieved my nerve pain but I am still sore when moving. Having PT now. I was told my bones are very soft. I have not taken drugs in many years but… read more
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?
@A MyOsteoTeam Member yes you are correct! I try to keep positive and not to talk about my pain.
However it’s lovely to belong to a group like this where we can get some comfort from Ione another… read more
