Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

I have a -3.8 in my spinal disc. And osteopenia elsewhere. Am 82, have only taken vitamins up until now, and my doctor wants me on Evenity. But he sees it as my only option, due to my health conditions/limitations. So what happens when I complete that treatment, if follow up treatment with other meds that I cannot take is necessary? Tsk

Have you checked the side effects of Evenity? I would do so before taking anything. Good Luck lashu.

Hi lashu:
I have just gotten a treadmill with arms on the sides. I can set the walking speed or no speed and have something to grip on if needed.

There must be some weight-bearing exercises that you can do...Ask for a PT referral for this.
Even holding onto the door frame with both hands and raising your leg to a march in place is weight-bearing.

Check out osteoporosis yoga and do the ones you can do...

Please check out all the med options before you commit to any..
