Treatments for Osteoporosis

@kfhoz good information, will check into that. Have not yet found anyone who specifially does or is more concentrated on osteoporosis patients; my endo is who my PC sent me to, my gyne sent me to a rheumatologist my orthopedic doc's (who fixed broken wrist and said bone looked great) practice doesn't treat osteo. I am finding if one asks recommendations from their primary care doctors you will get someone in that doctor's "group" which is perhaps not the best for osteoporosis specifically. A few University hospitals are close to me but haven't researched that enough; one endo recommended for osteo (through doc google) is part of my current doctors group! I am not far from Cleveland Clinic or University of Chicago's bone health center, maybe next step. As posted many times I am just frustrated by the lack of info I get, what little I know about osteoporosis and treatment I have gotten from sites like this, not a doctor. Chronic lifelong problem I would like information - anything, books, websites, ideas for nutrition, supplements, exercise and exactly what, etc. I can't get information in a once a year 20 minute appointment.

Please consider buying or having your library purchase a comprehensive book researched and written by Keith McCormick, DC entitled 'Great Bones.' Extensively annotated. You can find discussions about this practitioners here on Mayo Connect.

The author learned about osteoporosis personally after fracturing and being dx'ed while performing as an Olympic class athlete. That motivation and thoroughness is difficult to duplicate by other practitioners, who too often consider info from pharma reps to be their main form of continuing education.
