Isn't It Odd That Almost All The Doctors Are Ready To Handout Prescription Medications For Anything That Is Wrong With Us?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Isn't it odd that almost all the doctors are ready to handout prescription medications for anything that is wrong with us, INSTEAD of telling us that we must eat better and get the proper exercise or physical therapy to help our conditions??? I wish we had good and caring doctors who followed the oath they made, when they became a doctor.

Anyone Been Doing Daily Tymlos Injections?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I did Prolia twice yearly for 4 years, then it stopped helping so I got a Reclast infusion last May and now am due to start daily at home Tymlos injections for two years before going back to Prolia. This is supposed to cause new bone growth. Waiting on insurance approval. My next Dexa scan is due in August. Have a great day y'all!

What Form Of Exercise Can I Take
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm afraid of doing anything except walking and swimming for fear of hurting myself, but I get bored with these. My osteoporosis is mild in my spine and moderate in my hips. I've had two crush fractures. My back can be extremely painful. I've tried Pilates and yoga, but some of the excersises really hurt my upper back, so I end up not doing anything! I used to love cycling, but I've lost all my confidence and can't balance anymore as I'm so scared of falling off.
