When a bone is brittle osteopenia or osteoporosis it just mean we don't make enough of it as its a living organ. It doesn't get replaced Thank Mr google

Ok I found ur question.First I'd like to say, Pat was being kind to welcome u to our group.
Next...I don't know how to answer ur question. I've been diagnosed just 2 years. I don't know all the medical, scientific answers to everything about OP. I have studied about what to do with good nutrition,
weight bearing exercise & supplements.
To my understanding it's not like bone is breaking off in pieces & floating around in ur body. The mechanism of making new bone is not keeping up as it did when we were younger & maybe had estrogen etc. Google Osteoporosis & c what u find out. Maybe u can explain it to us. I'd rather read what can help my body b healthier & stronger & do that. Like I said before...good luck. London

Hi. I thought comment to my question was an answer. Why are they asking us to ask questions if they do not have answers.??
