Has anyone even heard of hip protectors for hip osteoporosis?

I hear you! I did order a hip protector and am going to wear it outside in the mountains and maybe outside at home as well. I realized that I've never fallen in the house but have definitely fallen outside a number of times (twice with my heavy snow boots on). Now that I've been on this site I'm a little more sober about whether I want to do risky activities. I want to live a long life and see my grandkids grow up!

@barb3 Me too! I understand why Pharma and etc. aren't going to promote a $100 garment over gazillion dollar meds with a tidy profit margin, but I don't understand why everyone with really vulnerable hips isn't wearing these things, with or without meds. But here's a toast to us! Be well!
