Hi Shirley, I too was recently diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and severe ddd. I see a spine specialist on Monday however I can’t get into an endocrinologist till May. Are you taking any medication for your osteoporosis?
Hope you get some relief soon!

@mika86753099 I also had a diagnosis of severe osteoporosis and severe DDD. My rheumatologist has been on me for years to take medication for my bones. I rejected because of all the side effects....until he said I could no longer go without doing "something." I started the Forteo injections almost two years ago. My spine has improved greatly and now I'm considered to have osteopenia, not osteoporosis. I am so thankful I did the injections because I now need back surgery. My spine is so compressed with stenosis that I can no longer wait for back surgery. I don't think any doctor would have touched me if I had not started the injections. It was a scary choice, but the right choice.
