Any non fracture members?

I guess I’m just looking for some encouraging words. I was diagnosed in February and still working through the different stages of grief/loss. I seem to have more days stuck in depression/sadness.

So, was just wondering if anyone on here has dealt with OP for quite a while and hasn’t fractured? I know you can fracture even if your scores are osteopenia range. I feel like everyday I’m just waiting for a fracture to happen. Im exercising 6 days a week and watching my food intake. I’m just hoping as time goes on this feeling lessens. Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s the diagnosis that’s making me sad or just the fact that I’m getting older, I’m 60, and reality has finally set in.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@stress101 pain is hard to live with as I can share having pain too. The only thing that has helped me with pain is trying to lower inflammation in my body. Sugar is the big one for me, so I have been using stevia in food and monk fruit in baking. If you google “Is sugar bad for my bones” you see it is. Nutrition has been my focus as well.

I'm 65 years old. I've had osteoporosis for close to 5yrs, and have never had a fracture. I'm supposed to take Calcium tablets, but I forgot too. I'm not worried about having a fracture. If I ever get one, that's when I'll deal with it.
Are you having side effects or something related to OS?
