I always thought that the pain in my joints, especially in my hands and knees was just part of aging. Now I don't know if the pain is from osteo or just age

I have been diagnosed with 2 compression fractures one of T7 and L4 over a year ago, T7 still causes me pain especially when I'm on my feet for extended periods of time and when I perform house cleaning jobs such as vacuuming and mopping floors. I work in retail so I have no alternative but to be on my feet for 7 to 8 hours a day. Everything I've read said they should heal within 6 to 8 weeks but I just dont that is my case. Any feed back is welcome!
Don’t sit for too long without getting up and moving about. Otherwise, I get too stiff to move! Rigor mortis.
My first injection went just fine,but after my second one my lips swelled up, so I had to quit.
How long did it take to feel better? Before it doesn't hurt or I can walk normally? Or exercise? It's been 8 days now.
I am sooo sorry for all you have been through
Sending hugs. Linda
It was overuse of steroids that caused my osteoporosis
Never again!
Does anyone use this for their osteoporosis?

I refused bone meds out of fear of side effects and have suffered four vertebral fractures and scoliosis. I am miserable and now my oncologist says they probably can’t be fixed by Kyphoplasty because I have discs involved. But I need an MRI and to see a neurosurgeon. I’ve been in a recliner for seven months and I feel my life is over. Can anyone relate or help me?

I have read about all of the medications, and they all sound terrible and dangerous. I cannot take AlgeCal because of calcium issues. I know I have to take something, but I am scared. Any suggestions or experiences are appreciated.
