My belly is sticking out and I feel shorter than I used to be. Have been diagnosed with osteoporotic vertebral fracture and
multilevel acute osteoporotic compression fractures in the lower and lumbar spine, I really know very little about osteoporosis, take calcium tablet Adcal and vitamin D3 now and once a week Alendronic Acid. I don't know whether this is all I can do or whether I should push my GP to see another specialist. I have asked for the Alendronic Acid to be changed to an infusion and… read more
Hi, it's a bit late to find out whether I have any artistic talents. I used to play piano but am not particularly musical. Then my hearing deteriorated, completely deaf in my right ear and a hearing… read more
I have osteopenia of more than 10 years duration. My MD would like me to take Fosamax. I have bad teeth--I receive regular dental care and floss and brush with prescription strength fluoride toothpaste like I'm supposed to, but I have numerous crowns/fillings, 4 implants, I've had several root canals and broken teeth. I'm wondering what besides Prolia or biphosphanates I could take. I am afraid of osteonecrosis of the jaw--I'm also afraid of breaking a hip. I take calcium and Vit D supplements… read more

I am 57,have NEVER had toothache up to now. Cant help wonderin if alandronic acid anythin to do with this? Been takin about 2months.
I believe that the osteoporosis meds contribute to sore gums and teeth.
What is vitamin K2 I have never heard of it
During an endoscopy recently I was found to have a large hiatus hernia. That explains my acid reflux and heartburn! I’m now on 30 mg a day of Lanzaprozole which is helping a bit.
I started Prolia two years ago because Actonel wasn’t working. I now have recurring sciatica, which is a side effect of Prolia. A year ago I got cortisone injection for pain.
I also take medicine for acid reflux which counteracts bone density medicine.
I have just discontinued my prolia twice a year injections because of the sixe effects..Insomnia, very itchy skin, unable to walk very far. Am hoping this will end soon

I started this med on 10/11/2020and have had headaches since almost every day!
Oh boy,that is not good. Sounds like a doctors visit. Pain is so difficult to handle.I hope it lets up and eventually goes away.
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
