Can you experience days of feeling unwell/ illness with Osteoporosis?

Have days where you just don't feel well at all, like you're coming down with something but you don't, you're just unwell.

Has ANYONE been happy on Prolia??

I'm a 72 yr old white female who had last dexascan 2 yrs ago. Left hip T score T-2.6. I'm terrified to have dexascan now as I'm afraid it's much worse. Just hoping to get some Prolia reviews that are void of horrible side effects.

Has anyone tried CBD oil for osteoporosis?

I have been prescribed by a medical doctor and find it helps with anxiety, pain and elevates my mood. It is also reportedly promotes bone growth. I am still taking my Actonel but have been on CBD since June, 2018.

Unusual problem at night

My left night has started giving me a lot of trouble recently. After having an X-ray I was told there is ‘significant arthritic damage ‘ to my knee. I have been given anti-inflammatories and Tramacet for the pain but it’s not helping much. Also when I go to bed at night or try to lay down during the day I have to sit up.
