Anyone On Here Tried The Silver Sneakers Exercise Program? Is It Sufficient For Osteoporosis Exercise?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Oak Hill, WV

In addition to osteoporosis, I have severe osteoarthritis in hips, knees, and feet. This is seriously impairing my ability to do many of the recommended exercises. I know I need to exercise, just seeking a program that I can do and not cause significantly more pain but still benefit from. This is all quite a balancing act!

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I attend a community center where I attend 4 hours of silver sneakers exercise weekly. Excellent. Aerobics, line dancing, kick boxing. In summer, We do aquatic aerobics in outdoor pool. Love it!

Have days where you just don't feel well at all, like you're coming down with something but you don't, you're just unwell.

Yes I have days that I feel ill. There’s no explaining exactly what it is. On those days when I’m in my bed I feel that I might not wake up. It’s like an exhaustion

Alendronate Or Alendronic Acid

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Minyama Sunshine Coast

It’s improved my bone density somewhat and the Endocrinologist at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital was pleased that my Lumbar spine is now Osteopinea, wrists and hips are not so good.
I am concerned about the stomach bloating and constipation of my bowel.
My question is does Aledronic Acid +Caliciferol with Vitamin D (Fonat Plus) cause gum ulceration and pain as this is an ongoing problem. Could it be the Acid component?

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Vitamin K2

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
07093

Hi! My doc has me on Boniva (from which I'm on withdrawal due to side effects) and 600iu calcium + 800iu D3 twice daily. I ALSO take a WEEKLY dose of 50,000mg vitamin D3. My Question is, what about vitamin K2? My reading suggests a need for K2 in order to direct the calcium from soft tissue to the bones. Does anyone else include K2 in their supplement regimen and, if so, how much do you take?

A MyOsteoTeam Member

How much K2??

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Wakefield, UK

Is Evista the same as Alendronic acid? I’m supposed to take the A acid but decided not to due to all side effects I keep hearing about. Have just started on Algeacal and Strontium boost.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I took Stronium Ranelate for years but my gp took me off it as I have two serious lung diseases.
