A life of pain.

According to the NAMS statement and the Royal Osteoporosis Society, age is no longer a determining factor for HRT.
What is important is that you have a doctor that tests and makes sure that you are healthy enough with no preexisting conditions that might preclude the use of any HRT and according to the research that you use the safest method and delivery possible. The safest has been found over and over again to be bioidentical, topical or vaginal non oral, at the lowest active level to impact positively.
As a side note, I use strontium citrate and BHRT to treat my former osteoporosis diagnosis. I am currently in normal bone density with normal bone quality, as per dexa and TBS, no side effects, no fractures. I am 73 years old.
Also, I am seeing that Strontium citrate, a nutritional supplement, shows potential to support bone health by promoting new bone formation and increasing density. While studies suggest it may enhance bone healing, particularly in animal models, there is limited clinical evidence that it effectively treats or reverses human osteonecrosis. There is evidence that strontium helps with jaw osteonecrosis caused by osteoporosis drugs. Indeed, some dentists have placed strontium laced implants etc into jaws and even skulls to promote healing.
Question: what type of cortisone shot and shot location caused the osteonecrosis? osteonecrosis of the jaw? I am seeing in the research that just one shot can cause this. Ah!!! but I asked copilot about this one knee shot situation; Copilot said that this is only one known case of a knee shot causing osteonecrosis and that patient was taking daily steriods and had severe osteoporosis. Plus, when found the osteonecrosis was reversed. Copilot said also that osteonecrosis is most likely to occur from a hip shot because the hip has such a diminshed blood flow compared to the knee . I love copilot; it translated a study from the original FARSI for me a few months ago so I could compare the dose level of some research. We need good regulations, but AI has wonderful potential to help us all.
