Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

How did you break your back? You mentioned having an injection. Was that a steroid like cortisone? They are very bad on bone health. If they are steroid injections I hope you haven’t taken them long term. How often do you have a scan. The Radiologist recommended I get scanned yearly. He also recommended 1200mg calcium and 400-800 IU of Vit D daily. I already take 6,000 IU vit D because of the three seizure meds I take.
I’d like to share an interesting website..
