STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis
I am starting this thread hoping people will post things they've done that they have regretted, for one reason or another, when suffering from osteoporosis.
I'm going to start the conversation with a list of things we've learned already, and we are newbies!
1. Lift objects heavier than recommended by your physician (for my husband, that means nothing heavier than 5 pounds right now, with 3 fractures).
2. Don't bend at the waist! He got a fracture bending to empty the dishwasher.
3. Be cautious when driving - avoid rough roads, bumps, and go very slow over speed bumps.
4. We had planned to go on a boating tour (on a commercial fishing boat) on the ocean. After seeing a boat rocking and bouncing over choppy water we decided not to go.
5. Do not slouch when sitting in a chair or couch. If you're going to rest for any period of time on a couch elevate your legs (per our physical therapist).
6. Do not try any exercises until you have cleared it with your doctor, especially before your doctor confirms your fracture is stable.)
Please add to the discussion. I think this could be useful to people, especially people new to this.

Its inspiring! It would be helpful to know your T score before reversal and age too😊
I’m 65 and don’t know whether at this age these protocols would work sufficiently to reverse

1 ReactionI'm 73, and I started around your age. I would think it's never too late, like it's never too late to start exercising. I try to eat clean and pretty much healthy. I will try to find my results, I have change imaging place, and need to see where I filed them.

3 ReactionsI have already replied on another comment, and it won't let me do it again. Check down the one and see if you can find it.
You have to make a slight change to your comment and then you can repost it.
Yes, that proves what you did worked for you. That’s great. For some of us that isn’t the case.
I'm so sorry that didn't work for you. I'm surprised that working out with weight bearing exercises didn't work?
I also forgot to add that with the supplements I also take collagen every morning in my coffee. I like the Ancient Nutrition because its has most types of collagen, but I alternate it with Garden of Life collagen. I hope you can find something that will work for you.
🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

I was stubborn and felt that I could correct my Spine T score -2.8 then 2 years later -3.1 then -4.6. I have always taken supplements, along with collagen by Ancient Nutrition,
jogging and weightlifting. I unfortunately had to go on Evenity to Prolia and now on to Reclast.
What I am thankful for is I have had basically no side effects.
