Medicine Side Effects

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Madison Heights, VA

My doctor is telling me I need to go on meds for my Osteo. My Son, who is in the dental field, is telling me that all of these meds affect your gums and teeth; sometimes making dental procedures more risky and harder. I don't want this. What are your experiences and what meds do you recommend. And what natural things can I do.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Google the meds and check out the side effects. I have turned them down because of the side effects and going the natural route.

What Is The “bone Stimulator” Some Of You Have Mentioned?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Wilmette, IL

I’m recovering from a stress fracture in my left femur. I had an injection of Prolia shortly before diagnosis, and was told that would slow down healing since the drug slows down bone turnover in general. Perhaps a “bone stimulator” would help?
