Hi everyone. Has anyone suffered from bone mass density loss after starting GnHR injections? If so, what has helped? My knees and back are killing me.

I took vitamin D for my bones etc and tried to eat a better diet to support your bones also I hope to a holistic chiro to help with the painful joints etc Hope that might help.

Are you on any HRT? I'm on Tibolone as an add-back which is meant to help with the bone loss. It is at the discretion of the consultant but I think it's recommended now.

Hi there. I’m interested in your question too but would like to know if you had investigations into this. Did you get a scan or tests?

I haven't heard of anyone who has been on it the recommended time allowance (or longer to be honest) who has had addback HRT and then found bone mass loss. Most people request a scan after 9 months which doctors seem happy to give.

The joint pain is the same pain I experienced in peri menopause. My knees really hurt too and I ache but I think this is due to less estrogen x
