Calcium Supplements
I am considering taking Algaecal, is anyone else taking it, and does it work as far as growing bone? I have DDD and osteoporosis.
Hi; No bone scan until April, 2020, which is two years since the last scan. Feeling positive and hopeful tho.
Best of Luck with your decision.
Need A BioDensity Machine In Columbus, Ohio
There was a Chiropractor's office in Columbus, Ohio that had a BioDensity Machine through Osteostrong. Osteostrong took the machine back. Me and many others with Osteoporis were making great strides with the machine. My back pain was completely gone. There are many others that went from Osteoporis to Osteopenia. I can't seem to find anyone at Osteostrong that can help get a machine back in Columbus. Can anyone help with information? Everyone with Osteoporis/Osteopenia needs to be on this… read more

Is Osteo Painful? The Extent Of My Knowledge Is That Bones Fracture More Easily.
I always thought that the pain in my joints, especially in my hands and knees was just part of aging. Now I don't know if the pain is from osteo or just age
I don’t have any pain from Osteoporosis but have a lot from Osteoarthritis. Also have Osteopenia that can be painful at times.
Hip Fracture While On Treatment
I had been taking Forteo injections for two years and did have an increase in my T-score, especially the hip area. Then once off for a few months for some dental work before starting Prolia, I fell and broke my hip. Now I experience anxiety, experience thigh pain when I am up for an extended period of time.
Has anyone else ever had a fracture while on treatment?
