STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

Don’t take your osteoporosis diagnosis lightly. Do something about it EVERY day; exercise, educate and be mindful. My on and off reaction meant that I ended up suffering through a lumbar fracture. It must be a top priority in your life to avoid fractures.

Thankyou for the caution and sharing ur experience. I hope now u’ve recovered and are much stronger..yes u’re very right osteoporosis shouldn’t be ignored but addressed from every angle
I will have my first Lumbar Fracture next week. Did they find any brain fluid on your test results. I have mixed feelings on this.

You are so right! I didn't really believe my initial diagnosis in 2014 (spine -3.6! No way! I was young-ish, 54, and healthy!) but I began taking D3, K2, calcium, and a mineral pill, just in case. Kept up my walking to work and
figured my backpack of stuff counted as weight. But here I am in 2025 with worse score (-4.8), and at least two compression fractures. I've gotten my first Evenity shot and hope to complete a year's worth. I will always tell younger women to go on BHRT at menopause and don't stop! And take osteoporosis very seriously. It's not just the scary hip-breaking stuff, it's also the lost days and weeks of normal life and regular activity, and the loss of height, meaning I need to stretch to kiss my husband and some of my clothes don't fit right, and it's he reshaping of my torso--where once I was tall and thin now I look squashed, as if someone put their hand and my head and pushed down, causing me to expand in every direction. Had I but known.....
