Hello everyone...hope you are enjoying your day
I'm gatheri g as much I go as I can..not so much the internet...i have a nurse friend who is a wealth of knowledge about holistic approach....so I'm g oing to be mindful of alkaline vs acidic foods and work on a balance...it is I treating that medical doctors never mention this approach as it gives you hope and some control over your body
I m still experiencing a lot of pain from the multiple compression fractures
God bless you all

I have no pain with severe osteoporosis, but by some miracle I have not had any spinal fractures. I agree with the others, the fractures and pressure on the spine is the source of the pain. Joint issues are likely arthritis.

I hit the jackpot! I have Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid and Osteoporosis. As a Nurse for 50 plus years I had ‘normal’ back pain. I know what the fracture pain is and can take weeks to resolve. My entire lower spine collapsed in 2017 but wasn’t diagnosed till a year later when I couldn’t walk. Chronic pain can be an issue. I can now push through pain. My Osteoporosis was caused by a diseased Thyroid which took all the calcium out of my bones. Thyroid came out last September and I have yearly infusions to (hopefully) build bone. I exercise madly and am building muscle to support my bones. 4 pain free days this week which is excellent. Good luck on your journey 😊

Yes, it is painful, but keep moving and exercise.
