Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I have a similar situation. Due for my third injection next week and developed gum swelling and pain two weeks ago. Need an extraction. I also had to have an extraction while on forteo two years ago. I was told there was no connection to the meds. It must either be the meds or the osteo because I have never had these type of tooth problems before! Please keep me posted on your experience and I will do the same. I am also waiting to hear from my dr.

@lioness. Please explain what calcium citrate "1200 mg split in two" means exactly. I, too, have osteoporosis and have also refused any of the meds doctors have urged me to take. I also have only one kidney stage 3(b) and diabetes, so I have avoided vitamin supplements, but maybe I should reconsider. My dentist strongly urged me not to take these meds, and he's not steered me wrong yet. I am very interested in this discussion. My only advice? Wear good-fitting, safe shoes and do balance and strength-building exercises. Walk. I see folks walking so poorly in stylish shoes that are unsafe. If we don't fall, we won't break bones.

@lesleighjarrett It is hard for me to believe that the meds have no connection to all the problems I have read on this website. I will definitely keep you posted and please do the same. I have a feeling my doctor will not call me back. I was unable to speak directly to her and left a message with her assistant.
