Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Nothing:I wlll review my Calcium and Phosphorus levels, as well as Vit D3.

My Vit. D3 was borderline low in mid August. Calcium,Sodium,Potassium and Phosphate Normal.

Thanks.

Y’all can add me to the osteoporosis group if I am not already as I have that too.  Note, Fosamax and calcium and exercise and my readings are up 4% from my bone scan 2 years ago.

Hi Everyone in june 2017 a had a leg fracture simply by stepping wrong foot and i am scared that i have osteoporosis and my weight is 83 kg i am so scared because when i googled for osteoporosis i found out that it has no cure and i cant go for test i am very poor i dont know what to do

I do not think you need to worry unless you over 65,or more likely, 75.

Check Mayoclinic.org for osteoporosis. You might also get a battery of blood tests to see your Calcium and Vit D3 values.

Ok low calcium can also cause this u mean actually my weight is also 83

What is your age?? 83kg is only about 180-185 lbs. What is your height? Are You male or female?

I am 30 years old male and my height is below 5.10

Hello @ujeeniack

That is very good advice. Bone density scans are good for both males and females. My father had osteoporosis and it was diagnosed in his 70's so it can happen to men even though it seems more common in women. Have you started any kind of treatment or exercise program?

Hello again @ujeeniack

You might also ask your doc to look into the functioning of your parathyroid (not the same as thyroid). When you have hyperparathyroidism, your calcium levels will be high in your blood and your bones will have less calcium (this is purely a lay person's interpretation). Here is a website that will help explain it, http://www.parathyroid.com/osteoporosis.htm.
