Good day,
I have been reading others posts, and see similar things with my medical issues. I suffered 5 compressed disks at once, with a bulging disks effect. I also suffered multiple rib fractures due to the nerves being pinched and causing my muscles to crush my own ribcage.
This started in April- peaked in early June. I was offered and excepted Evenity injections. I should have mentioned L8-L12 were the disk compressed m, I also suffer L1-L5 Osteoporosis before the compressed disks. I think I was healing from the rib pain and didn't notice much impact from Evenity.
I do want everyone to know, I was also given a prescription of Topiramate for the last 8 years. After digging I read 'What causes Osteoporosis? " One cause of Osteoporosis is Epilepsy drugs. On a drug interactions page for Topiramate clearly says Topiramate will cause Osteoporosis.
Possibly this was my issue for developing extreme Osteoporosis, as diagnosed by my doctor. My condition was not from a fall or accident. I just woke up one day with a pain in the center of my back that increased to finally stopping at 5 disks.
The Topiramate was for Neuropathy pain from Stenosis in my neck.
I am trying hot yoga and feel severe pain with part/ most of the moves. The instructor feels I will overcome the pain. I have always been active and now I can't sleep Sue to a pain in my ribcage lasting over 6 months.

I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis from years of taking epilepsy drugs coupled with Cushing Disease, @gpt

@gpt my osteopath/MD tells me not to exercise through pain, and then suggests helpful stretches. Though sometimes, if I feel pain might happen I walk and that can help.
