STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

@isabelle7 I think a distinction needs to be made here between people with mild osteoporosis, people with severe osteoporosis and people with fractures- recent or stabilized.

There are safe ways to do some of the things you listed 🙂

@windyshores

I agree with you. I should have indicated that those things are especially troublesome when a person has fractures and are severe. Is there a way to edit a post?

I'm glad you responded to @healthseeker77 since you have experience with osteoporosis meds with kidney disease.

I read over my original post and hopefully people will realize I'm saying the things we've learned and that they can check with their own doctors for their particular situation.

I agree. I was told I had mild OP (only scanned on the hip area), a couple of years ago.. at 58. I decided I would reverse it without drugs. I told my Dr I was going to begin lifting weights after my physical therapy for my degenerated disk, and for my knees, and I did. I started slowly after some research on how to lift for over 50 with an OP diagnosis. I am almost 61. I do full-body workouts twice a week. My back is better, knees are better. Doing well, moving well. I will request another Dexa scan for the end of the year to note progress.. I am not giving in to any diagnosis. Keeping my muscles and bones intact, they have much work still to accomplish, Lord, willing!
