Have you been diagnosed with osteoporosis Jean? Pete takes a tablet every Monday as he has loss of bone density in his hips and back yet he was told his back problems were not because of the osteoporosis. I do hope you get the right treatment and medication and wish you well. Xxxx

Thankyou have got it in my hands was given leaflets today so I guess so all I want now is something to get rid of pain as I suffer a lot with my lower back just wait now to see a consultant

Oh my! I hope you get the appropriate medication. I have osteoporosis (back, hips, knees) L5 disc in my back is not so clever and have pain on standing or bending. If you have 3 fractures I dread to think what your pain level has been. I was offered morphine but it makes me sick so I stick to cocodamol 30/500. Unfortunately these can make you sleepy. Wishing you all the best.
