@isabelle7 I live alone so I don't have a nice spouse around to help- your husband is lucky to have you! My knees are okay thank heavens and my legs are strong from doing all the work my back used to do.

I think those of us with fractures really need to be careful. People with mild or maybe even moderate osteoporosis (depending on FRAX) can probably bend, lift etc. much more than we can.

I can’t imagine my husband doing this on his own. I’m so sorry you don’t have someone there to help you.

I think you’re right that some people don’t have it as bad and won’t have as many limitations.

I’m glad your legs are strong. That’s got to be helpful. My husband hasn’t squatted well for some time. He doesn’t have great knees and has to be careful.

Mine are too from working with young children. I do a lot of squatting and lifting. And more since my husband developed osteoporosis.
