Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

And mam can clacium deficiency cause weak bones ?? So should first test my calcium and vitamin d levels ??

Yes mam dont know what to do i am the only wage earner and i am on bed since july do u know how much this test cost

Age has little to do with it. I fractured my T9 vertebrae lifting my arms over my head. I was 35. You should get a borderline DEXA scan. I totally understand. I broke my clavicle reaching quickly for the phone, broke 2 ribs sneezing.

I do 2 miles on a treadmill 3 days a week followed by 6 resistance machines 30 reps and 2 days a week I do a 1 mile walk up and down the neighborhood hills. I plan to gradually extend that to 2 miles. It’ll be a bit.

What exercise activities do you do?

Hello again @ujeeniack

You might also ask your doc to look into the functioning of your parathyroid (not the same as thyroid). When you have hyperparathyroidism, your calcium levels will be high in your blood and your bones will have less calcium (this is purely a lay person's interpretation). Here is a website that will help explain it, http://www.parathyroid.com/osteoporosis.htm.

Hello @ujeeniack

That is very good advice. Bone density scans are good for both males and females. My father had osteoporosis and it was diagnosed in his 70's so it can happen to men even though it seems more common in women. Have you started any kind of treatment or exercise program?
