Any non fracture members?

Posted by rudysmom @rudysmom, May 18 7:24am

I guess I’m just looking for some encouraging words. I was diagnosed in February and still working through the different stages of grief/loss. I seem to have more days stuck in depression/sadness.

So, was just wondering if anyone on here has dealt with OP for quite a while and hasn’t fractured? I know you can fracture even if your scores are osteopenia range. I feel like everyday I’m just waiting for a fracture to happen. Im exercising 6 days a week and watching my food intake. I’m just hoping as time goes on this feeling lessens. Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s the diagnosis that’s making me sad or just the fact that I’m getting older, I’m 60, and reality has finally set in.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Sorry about the news you received. Can you share your dexa scores with us?
Is your physician someone who is experienced in treating osteoporosis or are they referring you to someone else. It is common here for people to talk about doing their own research on osteoporosis and treatment. Everyone is so different with different medical histories. If you go to the top of this page and click on the blue title Osteoporosis and bone health it will present a list of current topics of discussion. Hang in there. We are all in it together.

Another resource for information is OsteoBoston.
They have an excellent group of videos on YouTube and a website.
