I forgot to mention that Margaret Martin at melioguide.com has a class on movement/exercise with fractures. However it costs $89. She also has a book and videos online. Tai chi really helps me: no twisting at the waist at all.

Thanks for the info on Margaret Martin and that Tai Chi really helps you. I'm adding that to the list of things to check out. You have no idea how thankful I am for you guys on Connect. I really don't know where we'd be if I had not found this place. Starting last year when he first got PMR to now that we find ourselves dealing with osteoporosis. I have great bones (DEXA scan) and it would have been me we would have been concerned about. Simply because I'm female I guess. We never in a million years thought it would be him, or that the prednisone could have done this to him. I only wish his doctors had told us along the way. There were things they could have done to prevent him from getting osteoporosis in the first place. I've read over and over that doctors fail to mention this to patients when in reality anyone on the high doses he's been on for over a year will end up with bone loss. Frustrating.
