@isabelle7 thank you, what a helpful idea for a thread!
I would add to the list......medications! Tymlos and Forteo can help with healing, I have been told, and anabolics may also, of course, help with preventing more fractures.
I would also add that both physical and occupational therapy can be useful in learning how to move and accommodated existing fractures, as well as strengthening supportive muscles.
One of my big problems is windows. I need to be able to open them safely. This limits my rental options.

I can see where opening windows could be a problem. And it just made me think that my husband is reaching and opening our bedroom window which could be a bit dangerous with his three current fractures. I’m glad you mentioned that.
He’s getting ready to start Forteo in a couple weeks and we are very hopeful. He’ll do Forteo for two years and then go on Reclast for 2-5 years per his endocrinologist. Such a good point you made including these meds.
Our physical therapist who my husband saw last week is being so helpful with stressing what he shouldn’t do. Right now we’re waiting for X-rays to make sure his new fractures are stable.
