Anyone get a PT or dietary consult when diagnosed with osteoporosis?

Hello @fieryrn
I have read your post as well as the posts from mentors, Lori and Sue. They have provided you with some great ideas (as well as great exercises). There is another mentor on Connect, @contentandwell, who introduced me to Carol Michaels's exercise program. You can view many of them on YouTube. She works with the National Osteporosis organization and has exercises for both osteoporosis as well as recovery from cancer-related fatigue.
Here is a website with more information about her exercise programs, https://www.youtube.com/c/CarolMichaelsFitness/videos
I hope some of these thoughts are helpful and that you begin to feel better. Will you post an update in the near future?

In addition to Carol Michaels' programs, check out Sara Meeks. Bob and Brad ("the two most famous physical therapists on the internet") have done a few podcasts with her. Sara Meeks is a Physical Therapist who specializes in osteoporosis (the Meeks method). She did offer to send handouts, articles, etc. to anyone who emailed her. It took a while, (over a month), but I did get them and they are excellent. Her exercises for osteoporosis are subtle and even seem understated at first. She is definitely worth checking out - just Google her name.

I will! 😊. I am on vacation now…resting at the lake. Will return to work on Thursday to try a12hr shift…🤷♀️
I have a follow up with my PCP next week to get some additional advise.
And will start an exercise program when I get home 😊
