Osteoporosis Treatment Options

@gently
In my case the osteoporosis is due the abnormal growth in parathyroid gland producing fluctuating and high levels of pth harmone....my doctor advised me to wait and watch for any growth...since the nodule is too small...i have to get yearly ultrasound neck to see for growth....if it grows...then i have to under parathyroidectomy (of the affected gland) or i can go for radiofrequency ablation which will shrink or eliminate the gland affected...........for now i am on alderonic acid(osteofos), vitamin d supplements...my last dexa scan taken 2 month ago had shown some minor improvemnets.....

Condition like mine might have gone unnoticed since my calcium levels were always normal....after comparing a series of pth levels test of 3 months and ultrasound and sestamibi scan, the diagnosis came out to be NORMOCALCEMIC HYPERPARATHYROIDISM......most of the time there is wrong diagnosis im this case and doctors precribe HTR injections which causes more bone loss

@mrg1
if you can..try some AYURVEDIC remedies for GERD.....ayurvedic treatment may take some time to work but works all the time....moreover there is no sideeffects of ayurvedic remedies...and doesnt interact with the allopathic medicines.....

i too had gerd few years back....i followed a ayurvedic doctor's treatment regime and in 8 months iwas free of gerd....but it has to be followed by strict diet.

yvp25, it sounds like you are getting marvelous care.

@nycmusic agree!!! Its so scary and nerve wrecking!!

@mrg1 I had severe issues from actonel- esophagel- -still have it - got off actonel- had to go to ER- thought I was having heart attack- still difficult to swallow some food

@yvp25 glad this works for you…more natural approach…but you are right, the diet is very strict, not for everyone….and patience is required !

@nycmusic I haven’t started anything yet and not crazy about doing so based on the side effects of many, however I probably need to since my Dexascan showed another significant change. I know for sure though, that I don’t want to start something that’s dangerous to stop.

@dl0613

is Nycmusic similar to Prolia?

grayson3, nycmusic is a very helpful poster on Mayo Connect. Not nearly as dangerous as Prolia. I think Evenity is the closest in similarity, producing similar bone, but very different in mechanism.
