I have some arthritis but I don’t take any meds at this time, just pain relievers as needed. I had a knee and hip replacement (hip 3 yrs ago, knee 2yrs, both went well) I am 65 and in pretty good health beside these crazy joint issues that have crept up on me. I was a person who exercised regularly but have had to make some adjustments with the kind of exercise I do. That is why I desire to keep my bones strong. It is just a hard decision on osteoporosis meds. I also follow a functional bone Dr. which I really like but that can become very expensive if you choose to go that way.
