Osteoporosis and SI joint pain
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Nov 24, 2025 | Replies (10)Comment receiving replies
I can’t go to chiropractor as I have quite bad osteoporosis and any manipulation is out of the question . Thank you for your suggestions but I do have a physiology knowledge . I try to walk each day for about two miles and then am usually active around the house etc . I have an oura ring which helps keep an eye on my activity score . My SI joint gets very bad with nerve pain should I even try to do anything more.

Hi tiny28,
I too have SI joint pain. I go to a pain management specialist here in the US and they give me steroid injections in both joints when the pain is really bad. Are there pain management specialists there in the UK? I also just finished almost 11 months of Tymlos. I had to stop taking it because my blood calcium increased to 10.8. I was able to get Tymlos through Radius Assist because I couldn't afford the medication. But I have to say that the pain in my spine decreased quite a bit, I think because of the Tymlos treatment. I had a fractured vertebrae at L-2. If your doctor recommends Tymlos or Forteo, see if you can qualify for patient assistance. Both drug companies offer assistance.
@tiny28 - not sure if this conversation continues, but i have been told that my osteoporosis prevents surgery which seems the only way to fix an si joint when it gets really bad. I was on tymlos for a year and it got worse. Now on prolia as well. I am not sure what the aim is now - prevent all kind of total hip area fractures? Sorry for hijacking - hopefully this is close enough to your experience - except only a few drugs give me bad side effects. Thanks
