Anyone progress from osteoporosis to osteopenia?

Posted by debbik @debbik, 11 hours ago

Being new to this site, I’m enjoying all the info out there on your experiences with osteoporosis. Has anyone been diagnosed with osteoporosis and been able to gain bone density to the point of osteopenia, or better. I’m 65, have osteoporosis, and each bone density it gets worse. I’ll admit I need to step up with exercise, and make changes to diet. But would love to hear from anyone who has positive changes and specifically what you did to achieve them. Thank you!

Thank you, windyshores!!! I like to think the proof is in the pudding…no signs of any fractures anywhere! After the x-ray tech finished my latest scan, I made sure she wrote down on the radiology paperwork to also account for my using strontium citrate. The scan was done at a major teaching hospital, so the radiologist must have been aware of the controversy surrounding strontium citrate (or am I assuming too much??!!). In any case, he did not make any additional notes regarding that on the report. Even if the strontium citrate overestimated my density by 10%, there was still substantial improvement. Well, that’s how I look at it! Glass half full! 🥃🙂
