Was diagnosed at 50 with osteo in right hip & left hip following in hot pursuit. By 2020 (age 74) it has progressed to include both hips, both knees, lower spine and other complications, ie> arthritis, osteo arthritis, etc. Was sent to endocrinologist who ran dexa scan & put on myriad of drugs; ie> alendronate, Calcium, D, B mix something, etc. etc. Within weeks I could barely walk, more & severe back pain than ever, loss of 1/2 hair. Stopped taking everything & all doctors save my Primary; that strongly advised Prolia shots 2x pr year. Did due diligence & research & said no. Currently (79 in June) my drug input is: Alleve, Allegra, Gingko, 1 pr day. The Osteo now includes: Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Bursitis, in both knees, both hips (but primarily right hip) lower spine. I have enjoyed, by the Grace of God & my gene pool, significantly good health in my "Golden Years" & therefore am an extremely bad patient. I abhor being in pain & the restrictions in provides. Still active but not like 50 or 60. Can still do 2/3 hrs of physical labor in yard ( with double doses of Alleve). My affliction is genetic; Mom, Grandmother, lll Aunts, Uncles, etc etc. Suggestions pls? OTC recommended? Thank you
