I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis at 81. I’d like some feedback if it is possible to rebuild density with proper diet, exercise (strength training w/ professional) yoga, and walking and biking ( and I just started taking a collagen powder. What do you think?

@lulub98 it probably depends on your scores. What does your doctor say?

@lulub98

I think it would depend on your scores from your Dexa scan. I can only speak from experience with my husband. His t-score was -3.4 lumbar spine and a little better for his cervical and thoracic spine. He has 3 fractures one from just emptying the dishwasher. The others we have no idea. No falls. He’s now on daily injections of Forteo for 2 years to be followed by 2-5 years of Reclast. His osteoporosis is from taking high doses of prednisone for two medical conditions for over a year. So your situation might be different.

A really good person to ask is @windyshores.

Best of luck!!
