STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

I had hyperparathyroid disease, caused osteoporosis. Had tumor removed from parathoid gland. Just had l2 spine fracture. Dexa scan showed bone loss much worse now -3.6 so why? Should not have got worse one tumor removed from parathoid. Is it inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorbtion since surgery on small bowel for intersusseption 5 years ago?

@paulinea so sorry about your fractures! Have you been on or ever been on medications for osteoporosis? It seems the surgery would have prevented progression but not treated the osteoporosis you already had, so I assume docs put you on meds.

Malabsorption could certainly make things worse. One of my kids has celiac and that was a concern for sure. Maybe your doctor or a nutritionist can help you get the calcium Vitamin D3 and other nutrients that you need.

Hope you are feeling okay!
