Anyone With Chronic Pain Need Some Help?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cloquet, MN

I saw an article on chronic pain in the October/November issue of AARP. It mentioned asking your provider to refer you to a pain center that is affiliated with a medical school. Apparently they take a more holistic approach.
Hope this helps someone.

Does Anyone In The Group Have Lupus Or/and Anti Phospholipid Syndrome?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hampshire, UK

I have both and have recently found out that lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE) can cause osteoporosis. My rheumatologist has never told me that, I found it out on Google. Lupus can cause many horrible side effects and I get a lot of them, but osteoporosis was never mentioned. 🙁

I wonder how many other… read more

Hi. I Have Osteoporosis, Kyphosis And Spinal Stenosis.

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bridport, Dorset, England

I'm 73, but not old (definitely not old!). I'm looking to buy an armchair to best support my back as it aches all the time and I have an ungainly clomp now when I walk. I'm bewildered by the plethora of armchairs on offer and, of course, every manufacturer is at pains to tell me theirs are the preferred choice. I'd be grateful for feedback from anyone with similar conditions who has a positive experience with a particular style of chair. Many thanks, Lee 🕊

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Thanks for the additional info Lesuls. I’ll definitely check out this line of chairs to see if they’re sold stateside.

Enjoy relaxing in your new chair!

Since my diagnosis, I have had loose teeth and I have lost some teeth. Does this have to do with osteoporosis or is it something else>

A MyOsteoTeam Member
