Each and every day is filled with anxiety thankfully provided by the med pros (to me anyway). Their "pep" talk to me was that I had serious osteoporosis, (diagnosed 2 years ago; I am 68) basically stop living your life (remove rugs! hold tightly to railings! no shoveling snow! don't twist! don't bend! careful with exercise! watch how much you lift! and on and on it goes. No plan or advice or even a website - anything! - explaining proper exercise, nutrition, PT wasn't even discussed until I asked (apparently no osteoporosis specific PT folks where I live). Meds to take and 2 vitamins; calcium and D (my D was prescription D2 for two years); a printout of calcium rich foods and that was about it. That being said I did Fosamax for about a year; followed by Reclast with (almost) no side effects. Am due for another infusion July but I have no idea if Reclast is working or not (dexa every 2 years only; so not until July 2027 for me). Unfortunately, we do need to research on our own and then we can at least have a question-and-answer session with our docs. I have not fractured with an asterisk - broken wrists from severe trauma. Not a fragility fracture but apparently there is not a difference in the osteoporosis world. I think we all have to take back some control over this chronic condition, we need to accept that changes in exercise, nutrition, etc. need to be made, do a ton of research on our own (docs just don't have time to explain the many moving parts to osteo) and hang in there!
