Osteoporosis and PV

[Bobadog]

Hi ,

I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis with a Dexa scan,after the MRI showed sacral fractures ,which had caused quite severe back pain for sometime.

I am about to start taking Ruxolitinib for my PV.(Unfortunately Peg interferon caused paraesthesia + after taking it for 18months,so I stopped this medication)

I have been advised to take Alendronic acid for the osteoporosis.

I dog walk for an hour daily if back pain is ok,and generally exercise etc…but not keen on weights,which I understand helps bone strength.

I was wondering if anyone else was taking Alendronic acid whilst on Ruxolitinib?

Many thanks,

All the very best,

Bobbie
