Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I am terrified

Can you provide your DEXA score?
Check out New Chapter Bone Strength calcium supplements, which is sourced from algae but I have found it to be cheaper than AlgaeCal (on Amazon).
In addition, I use AlgaeCal Collagen powder with "Fortibone", which is supposed to help bones.
I am 75 and also have severe osteoporosis, worse in my spine. I am also fearful, but so far have not fractured. I am careful with my movements, to keep my spine straight and not twist. I can't take two of the bone building drugs (Forteo and Tymlos) due to parathyroid issues. That leaves Evenity and bisphosphonates. At this time, I have decided not to take either of these medications, due to side effects and absolute risk of bisphosphonates. (Evenity must be followed by a bisphosphonate.).
Go to Facebook and check out Brick House Bones for info on osteoporosis and exercises.
Good luck.

@daisy17 hi , I’m new to OP, albeit fairly low level….as a CRC patient currently cancer-free as far as I know from recent tests, I really don’t want to take most of the harsh meds, at least for now….so am trying New Chapter because it’s plant-based and 3rd party tested and—important for me—less magnesium (than AlgaeCal) that can cause loose stools….still researching, but my cancer team seems okay with New Chapter for now…some people take separate pills for separate elements rather than a combo supplement…
