Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

This is slightly off-topic but don't know a better thread for it. I found this article from the U.K. dealing with osteoporosis and fractures. It lists using a TENS unit as a help in dealing with pain. I had to use one for a year for a bad back injury and the TENS unit helped a lot. I am just putting this out there for anyone dealing with pain and unfamiliar with it.

"If you're diagnosed with osteoporosis, there are steps you can take to reduce your chances of a fall, such as removing hazards from your home and having regular sight tests and hearing tests.

To help you recover from a fracture, you can try using:

hot and cold treatments such as warm baths and cold packs

transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) – where a small battery-operated device is used to stimulate the nerves and reduce pain by stimulating the nerves"
