Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Welcome to Connect @blythe.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Atelvia (risedronate). Please keep us posted on the results on the bone scan.
I thought you and the others sharing on this thread might be interested in this article by Kurt A. Kennel, M.D., a specialist in endocrinology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. In this article, he answers common questions about osteoporosis treatment and describes how osteoporosis medications work. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/in-depth/osteoporosis-treatment/art-20046869?pg=1
Are you concerned about lowering your calcium intake?

My Doctor thought I was getting enough from food and that any more was not good for my heart. Also my Vit D was high.
I get blood tests every 6 months to keep an eye on everything.
Thank you!<br><br>
I am a senior and was diagnosed with osteoporosis many years ago - I have broken my both wrists for a total of 6 times. I take Actonel once a week and I do weight bearing exercise twice a week. It has never got worse - I think doing weights is very important.<br>
So happy to hear from you and what you said, made me feel better. I was told I can only be on altevia for 3 years
What do I do then, good article someone sent that it stays in the bone even after stopping it. I like the delayed
release because you take it after breakfast and then stay upright for 30 minutes.

The link to the article does not seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks!<br><br>
