Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Dec 10, 2022 | Replies (88)Comment receiving replies
Hello, i have my annual checkup with full blood panel coming up. I will ask my endocrinologist what specific tests should be added (I always get tested for Vit D but, I'll ask about parathyroid). When you say that Evista helped bone loss in spine, may I ask, do you mean it increased bone density or that it slowed bone loss. I can certainly get a personal trainer re exercise although, I was hoping for a good reference book. Also although it seems I will have to stop jogging, I hope that t continue my exercises of walking, stair climbing, weights/resistance, biking, swimming (I know the last two are not bone strengthening but I love them). If you have found any books helpful I would love any recommendations.

Hello @heyhey,
I have not researched the bone loss matter. I have a number of chronic health conditions the take up my time and the bone loss matter has been put to the side. Perhaps others in this discussion group may have books to recommend.
Since books tend to get outdated quite quickly when research brings new information to light, I've found that researching on the internet can bring you the most recent information as long as you use websites that are reputable. The National Osteoporosis Foundation website might be a good place to start. Here is the link to that website, https://www.nof.org/. Also, Google Scholar is used by a lot of members of Connect to get the most recent health information about many different medications and/or health problems.
Here is some information from Mayo Clinic's website about Hyperparathyroidism, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyperparathyroidism/symptoms-causes/syc-20356194. As you can see, one of the first indications listed is Osteoporosis.
What method of research are you using the most?
