Pain And Osteoporosis

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pensacola, FL

I have osteoporosis,and I am happy to say I have not had any broken bones! My bone density test show my 60 year old bones are like that of an 80+ year old women.However I am in pain every day, my knees,hips
,back and hands hurt the most. But my doctors say there is no pain with osteoporosis until you have a fracture or break. And X-rays have not shown much arthritis. How "much" do I need to have for them to explain the pain I have? Have any of you had pain without fracture or arthritis?

Fosamax: What Have Your Experiences With This Drug Been? Positive Or Negative?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Taneytown, MD

My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.

I Have Heard That Having A Prolia Injection Every 6 Months Is Not The Most Effective Treatment For Osteoporosis. Not Sure What To Take This.

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Perth, AU

I watched a segment on Youtube by a Doctor who claims that Prolia prevents osteoclasts from clearing away the old bone and subsequently the osteoblasts form new bone on old bones which makes them more brittle. He claims that research indicates that if this medication is take for five or more years there will be a higher risk of bone fracture.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I have heard as well.
