Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Hello @julie2020, Welcome to Connect. I can understand why you are upset and I also would be upset. I have osteopenia and degenerative arthritis and I am supposed to be taking 1200 mg daily in calcium. I took it for a month or so but it really binds me up so I stopped it and try to eat healthier and lose some weight at the same time. Here's some information to support the symptoms you are having with jaw pain and more.

When your doctor calls back, can you ask her if there are any alternatives that are safer?

@johnbishop I take 1000 mg of calcium citrate and it does not bind me up. I'm still on Tramadol since my surgery and that can do it. I take Miralax, you can get generic miralax on Amazon. You have to be careful, if you take too much of it you may have diarrhea. I take less than a capfull now. I'm also on Tymlos, had side effects at first, but none now. Take care. I had degenerative arthritis too that caused a scoliosis and stenosis In My L-4 - 5 and S-1. That was the reason I had the surgery in June. The surgeon at Mayo had to start at T10 to my pelvis. I think you all ready know that from posts before. Take care.
