Hi ilovetrees:

I have no knee pain as I take collagen, hyluronic acid, and a combo capsule of glucosamine, collagen, frankencense and boron. That is all I use. No tylenol.

I am dealing with lack of knee bendibility and weak glutes from knee osteo arthritis. I can only climb one stair double step at a time too.

Be cautious if your PT is giving you weights that are too heavy.
Do not know what your DEXA numbers but that fits into this too.
We do need weight bearing exercises and perhaps arm weights but not such that will cause damage.

Re: Teri post and Dr. Fishman yoga for osteoporosis.

So many of these yoga poses are for folks that do not have knee arthritis and have perfect balance and just osteoporosis.
Very disappointing.....There are a few that are ok/possible to to do with knee osteo arthritis.

ilovetrees:

You have a cardio appointment to ask which osteoporosis med or infusion is better for arrythmia.
****This is a great question. Doctor needs to research this before you get there so hope that you let the office know that that is why you are making the appointment in particular.
Hope that you get an answer.

****Please post the reply that you get as I have arrythmia too and never considered that as a factor.

Many thanks,
timely
