I was an eight-mile-per-day walker and runner for thirty years, being unaware that I have one leg shorter than the other, and when severe problems began, was told that I have a leg length discrepancy and the LAST thing I should have been doing was ambulatory exercise. I lived for it. The endorphin rush made me happier than the disco dancing of the seventies. To my horror, I had severe hip pain one day, and after many consultations, learned that I have spinal arthritis, scoliosis and stenosis, and the last thing I should have been doing was weight-bearing exercise and was told to lie down! All the time. As in no weight bearing. I spend my life in bed reading, watching tv or being online. I made the rounds of spine surgeons , both in South Jersey and Phila. I considered going to New York when they all agreed that there is no spinal remedy and to just avoid any weight bearing. You never know what life is going to hand you. When you think you are doing excellent things for your body, it can be the opposite. It sucks

Hang in there dear! I have the same problem. I lost my by from cubic I portal decompression and from closed reduction of fracture in my ankle, years ago. I did not exercise or did weight bearing all thru my life, because of short leg syndrome.
Now, I am facing stenosis in my back w scoliosis. I just live in pain 24/7. Do not know, what else to do. Afraid to go thru surgery on my back.
I will pray for you.

Hello, I suggest you investigate and consider the Hospital for Special Surgery. Their main hospital is in New York, but have locations in other nearby states. They are highly ranked in orthopedics and known for treating complex spines and Scoliosis.

Please,. With severe degenerative discs now bulging(L4& L5 ) compressing on S1,severe osteoporosis,scoliosis, 1year of some foot numbness .How does one avoid surgery? (I'm 78 yr old female , 95 lbs, no other heath issues.

@mishea Always worth getting a second medical opinion before surgery. Try to get one that is completely independent such as from another hospital system. Most insurance companies will pay for second, or even third, opinions once surgery is advised because it is also in their interest for their members to avoid expensive surgery.

I went from Osteopenia to Osteoporosis & went on Evenity for 12 injections & now on my 3 rd Prolia injection. My last DEXA showed significant improvement in my bone density. My spine is now normal & my neck & hip are now Osteopenia instead of Osteoporosis I was very pleased!
I have not had any side effects (that I am aware of) from Evenity or Prolia.
I am so hoping that this improvement will help reduce my chances of fractures.
