Post Parathryoidectomy medical care for osteoporosis

Posted by karyn23 @karyn23, Jan 25 12:23pm

Last month, in December, I had a parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism. Just prior to the surgery a DEXA scan showed osteoporosis, which wasn't a surprise. I'm reading the research regarding how to treat osteoporosis as a result of hyperparathyroidism - not getting clear answers, though some research seems to show that the surgery can result in improvement of bone mass density. If you, too, are treating osteoporosis - for the first time - post-surgery, I'd love to hear what your doctor(s) are advising. Thank you so much!
