Had a Drs appointment Friday or yesterday, I've lost even more height as I've lost another 1/4 of a inch, I hate this.

@A MyOsteoTeam Member hello yes I have lost several centimetres in height from compression fractures plus a Scoliosis bend on the right side of my ribs plus rounded shoulders.
(Personally I was 5 ft 7 in tall and I am now 5ft2”!)

I don’t let it stop me from getting outdoors daily here at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast of sunny Queensland and I walk about 3 to 5 kilometres most days in Subtropical Australia fir exercise and the Vitamin D.

I take 2 x 1000iu Vitamin D3 daily plus the Prolia injection every 6months. My Bone Density test results were a little better and I have lost 16kg in the past 2 years to ease the pressure on my joints and it’s helping me with my Osteoarthritis pain relief too and I am feeling great!
