Is there a supplement that really works?

I was told by my doctor that calcium supplements may increase heart attack risk in women. Food sources better. I do take topical estrogen, wish I had started it earlier for bone health, and I am behind the 8 ball because I have hyperthyroidism, even though I take medication to control the hyperthyroidism, I was shocked how severe my osteoporosis was on bone scan. Am going to PT, because I am afraid if I don't do strength training carefully prescribed, I could fracture.

Thank you for sharing. This journey is pretty scary. I did have a fracture about 6 years ago. and I wasn't doing anything high impact. I will look into the topical estrogen. There are many good books out there also that have strength training exercises you can do at home with bands or weights to supplement your PT.
