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

Can You Experience Days Of Feeling Unwell/ Illness With Osteoporosis?
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.

Hello, all. Has anyone had experience with BEMER therapy? Thanks!
Bottom line is, a Bemer will not repair your bones.
Alendronate Or Alendronic Acid
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 yes you are correct! I try to keep positive and not to talk about my pain.
However it’s lovely to belong to a group like this where we can get some comfort from Ione another… read more
Vitamin K2
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?
How much K2??
Cannabis Oil
Has anyone tried this?
Hi Phyllis, there is nothing like the woodstock era!!!. I was we bit younger, but my brother was into it. They almost did another one up in the area that I grew up in but the people around here… read more
Evista
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.
I took Stronium Ranelate for years but my gp took me off it as I have two serious lung diseases.
I Have Been Diagnosed With Osteoporosis, The 4 Options They Offer Are Scary Beyond Words Because Of The Side Effects. What Do You Do?
Fortco, prolix, reclassify, fosamax. I don’t think I can do either one. The side effects are very overwhelming to me.
Thank you.
