Confused about osteoporosis treatment
Hi all, in 2019 whilst lifting my suitcase at the airport I had a horrendous pain in my lower back. Fast forward a few months finally got a x-ray which showed a compression fracture of L2. Finally got a dexa scan in April 2021 and confirmed osteoporosis of the spine with a T score of -3.9. My doctor

Osteoporosis at 29
Hi all, I’ve just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and I’m 29. This came about as I realised my toe was broken but didn’t have a clue how it happened so went to A&E. They x rayed it said it was fractured and also said my foot density looked on the lower side and to follow up with the GP. I did that and

Alendronic acid quandary
After a recent DEXA scan I have found that I have osteopenia of the hips and some osteoporosis at L3 and L4. My doctor has put me on Alendronic acid tablets and 1200 mg calcium supplements(Adcal D3). After the first six days I had constipation and consequent haemorrhoids. I took the alendronic acid and

Flare following Prolia?
Good morning, everyone! I wonder if anyone else has had problems following a denosumab (Prolia) injection. I was first diagnosed with PMR in 2015, and at that point, was told to discontinue the alendronic acid that I had been on for many years because it had been discovered it was not the “wonder drug

Bone Scan advice
Hello all, just a quick query . I've been on pred since the beginning of March , currently 12.5mg. I'm on Alendronic Acid too. I have been on Letrozole since my Mastectomy in June 2019. I had a bone scan then which is standard when starting something like Letrozole as it increases osteoporosis risk.

Alendronate/fosamax part 2
In 2014, after taking alendonate for (?) 5+ years, my left femur broke as I walked down a very slight slope. I have a intramedullary pin running from hip to knee. In 2020, on March 3, after not taking AA for nearly 6 years, I stood up to get off the bus, and my right femur broke, same reason. Now
