what are your symptoms from Osteoporosis ?

Posted by SusanEllen66 @SusanEllen66, 6 days ago

I would like to know what symptoms you have from osteoporosis , or osteopenia.
I see many posts about how you are being affected, and looking for answers.
The reason I ask is that I have had osteoporosis for at least 10 years, and don’t have any symptoms. The reason I know it is because my scan shows a problem.

Thanks

Yes. I am finding out that the way I bend and lift has alot to do with it.

My PAIN was misdiagnosed as OA. For 30 YEARS! Because they saw it on the XRAYS. It turned out that my pain was from inflammation caused by GOUTY ARTHRITIS! I learned about tart cherry capsules from this group. Took my pain away entirely. Asked my dr. to test for gout (uric acid). YEP. out of range. Please put me on the Allopurinol. Not uric acid is in range and I have no pain. The exception is where I have HORRID arthritis in my neck and the weather changes. Barometric pressure and eating foods high in purines (not good when one has gout) cause inflammatory pain. Many times we acquire "fractures"and they are hidden as we age. We get pain from those hidden fractures too!
