Exercise Where You Twist
I've heard that an exercise where you twist your spine or bend over is not good for those with osteoporosis. Is that something that should be avoided?
After reading this comments they made me ponder because I do twist my spine a lot doing yoga.
Would A Posture Corrector Brace Be A Good Idea When Out Walking To Keep My Shoulders And Back Straight?
Dr. says no to me but I wear one anyway sometimes even for a little while. I wear a brace at my waist when I know I need to walk or do something a bit strenuous. That support helps to give me a… read more
Cracking On The Corners Of Your Mouth?
Has anyone else experienced cracking on the corners of your mouth after taking AlgaeCal? If so, what did you do to get rid of it? I've never had this problem before, so I'm guessing it's a reaction to Algae Cal but I could be wrong. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem. Otherwise, I've not had any side effects and look forward to my next scan results. Thanks!
Try Monistat on cracks in the corner of your mouth and cracks around fingernails. Could be yeast.
What Is The Difference Between Type 1 Osteoporosis And Type 2 ? My Doctor Didn't Tell Me About Different Typs
I was diagnosed and sent on my way with painkillers which don't help much at all and no further information.

Can One Have Anterior Wedging Of T-spine Without Fractions?
Pain in my T-spine has ramped up so I had an x-ray. Results says anterior wedging of T-7 and T-8 verbetral bodies. It doesn't say anything about a fraction. But, when I looked this up online. Everything I've found includes fractions with main cause osteoporosis.
Does this wedging always include fractions? Or not?
Back story, I also have severe degenerative disc disease from T-7 through T-11. As well as degenerative spondylosis.
I think a wedge is a fracture, a good quick fix is Kyphoplasty?
Do Any Of You Ladies Not Take The Tablets They Recommend?
Do any of you ladies not take the tablets they recommend? ie - bisphosphonate.
How do you feel in general, are you worse since being diagnosed?
I started taking Algaecal 4 months ago after a hip fracture. Under pressure from my primary care doctor and family to take prescription med, probably Reclast because of my high FRAX score.
Treatment..
I was diagnosed in my late 30's then in my late 40's told the scans were wrong so treatment stopped. My last Dexa scan said osteoporosis in spine and osteopenia in hips. The only treatment I have been given is Vit D /calcium but I was already on this the dosage was just upped. Is this the only treatment I will be getting? I am just 50 and my monthlies stopped in my 30's.

Calcium And Vitamin D
how much you need per day - woman over 50
I love it but it is high in natural msg which is what I am intolerant to and turns up my nervous system - so annoying as it then causes more inflammation in my body
Hip Fracture While On Treatment
I had been taking Forteo injections for two years and did have an increase in my T-score, especially the hip area. Then once off for a few months for some dental work before starting Prolia, I fell and broke my hip. Now I experience anxiety, experience thigh pain when I am up for an extended period of time.
Has anyone else ever had a fracture while on treatment?
