My Mum Has Osteoporosis And Is Getting No Help From GP

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

She's been managing fairly well for the last10 yrs until recently when out of the blue she found herself in terrible debilitating pain.

I have had this since around 1998, but it just started affecting my ability to walk this year. I have other health issues so the docs don't see it as a priority.
I watch the videos by Doctor Paris and those help the most. Cutting out gluten and sugar really help. Eating pineapple helps. I try to only take natural products for pain. Right now I take kratom and turmeric curcumin and occasionally Tylenol if it gets bad. Mostly it doesn't unless I overdo exercise or sit too long in one position. I prefer swimming, but don't have good access to a pool. Working on findin̈g a gym my insurance will pay for.
