Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

@migizii It's never too much! Can you get back on the Calcium citrate? How are your bones? Have you had a Dex Test to see how they are, but sometimes they are not correct. They just said I was osteopenia, but I am osteoporosis. Had a 9 hour surgery on my back in June and the surgeon said my bones were soft. So now I have to do Tymlos an injection in my stomach every day. It's a small needle so it doesn't hurt. But I have to do it for two years, unless the surgeon puts me on a different one. How old are you? I'm 68 and I was taking Calcium Carbonate, which Citrate is better, so thats what I'm on now. Hope this helps and I liked your message.

Thanks @lilypaws for the information. My bones are soft and I am on Prolia. I was on Tymlos for awhile, but couldn’t manage side effects. My last DEXA showed osteopenia, close to osteoporosis which was improvement! The increased calcium situate was to boost my calcium rate due to a low level on my last blood test. I am going to discuss with my PCP and go back to 2x a day (400mg) each time and if I need to, supplement with something else-food wise.....if it doesn’t work, I’ll have to succumb to something to manage my digestive system so I don’t redevelop major constipation. Stay well and keep up the good work on your recovery❤️
