Increasing bone density naturally after menopause

Hi, @1bellavoce - I also had a bone density test this winter, since I broke my pelvis in two places from a fall on black ice on my sidewalk. The doctor thought I was too young for that outcome, so wanted the testing. I have mild osteopenia.

I do take calcium with Vitamin D, and have for some time. I have never had the side effects you mentioned. How uncomfortable. That's not fun.

I am unfamiliar with the product you mentioned, but perhaps @lioness @cherriann @contentandwell @fotula and others in this conversation will have some input for you. I will say that I've gotten some really good advice from pharmacists before.

Here is some Mayo Clinic information that may interest you on calcium supplementation https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/calcium-supplements/art-20047097

What did your primary care doctor say about the side effects you've been experiencing from the calcium supplements?

@lisalucier @1bellavoce Since I just recently discovered that I have this problem, osteoporosis, I have not yet seen a doctor. I have an appointment set up in January and am on the waitlist hoping I can get in sooner. I plan to send a message on the portal though asking about the best supplement to take in the meantime, I am taking calcium with vitamin D now, and also if he might prescribe PT for osteoporosis. I emailed the therapist I have used in the past for other things and they do have a specialized program for osteoporosis so if I can get a referral for that I will do it.
If I hear anything back from him regarding this I will post it.
