I’m sorry that you experience the same thing as I do. It’s definitely debilitating at times. I’m going through it now with both sides.. I am now going through laser treatments which seem to be helping.. I like you try to be very careful. I don’t like not doing nothing. I enjoy working outside in the summer. The fact that this has been going on for years and I just started evenity shots they tell me it doesn’t have anything to do with my osteoporosis.. it’s weak cartlidge… after I heal I will doing injections to help the cartilage.. they do a block so I would be numb, thank goodness, and then with the help of an ultrasound they can locate the weak areas or tears.. then they do an injection. You have to lay flat for that and right now that’s not happening… I thought maybe I had what you had but both have been ruled out.

Lazer treatments? explain please.
I have tried fosomax, evenity, forteo, all of them now going to try a new one that injections are every 6 months.
You shourd be aware if you want a dental implant they wont do it due to use of these bond building drugs. I have been on premarin since I was 25, I am now 76.
I am unstable, need assistance due to balance issues, but those painful ribs, like i've been rolled down a hill after being beat up!

I play pickleball 3 times a week, lift weights, climb stairs and do bone loading exercises…some days my left rib is sore and sometimes not. When I lay on my right side in bed and take a deep breath, I can feel my fib slip! It’s so strange. I swung a golf club a month ago, hit the ground hard a few times with my club and that was it, pain for 2 weeks. I took a flight yesterday and had to lift my carry on luggage into the overhead, and now it’s sore. Don’t know if the rib situation has anything to do with my osteoporosis but either way, it’s painful at times. I don’t thin the Evenity has anything to do with it. Weak cartilage! That’s my guess! 💕
