Yes, he did.... Stonger in a month. Yes, I know they have side effects that's why I opt to do it myself naturally with working out and supplements, and I succeeded. The best thing for osteoporosis is the weight bearing exercises and that worked for me. Thankfully I have build up my bone structure from what it was, I suppose that's why he feels like I only need a month to be on the meds. I feel if I had osteoporosis that bad he would not even suggest the procedure for me. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis about 6 years ago, since then I have been working out. I now just have some Osteopenia.
