Compression fracture?
It was probably more due to arthritis than the
osteopenia
but that's just my opinion. I'm wondering if there are exercises I could do to correct my posture and possibly get some of that height back. Or maybe a back brace. Thank you for reading this!

My results are I have osteoporosis in my right forearm but
osteopenia
in my hips and lumber regions. I also have something called Barretts Oesophagus which was also discovered after an endoscopy in early 2019.

Advice needed
He gave me a steroid injection into my buttocks as he does not think I should take oral steroids.( I have
Osteopenia
and Hypothyroidism) Within less than forty eight hours the improvement was miraculous. I told him this when I had a check up after four weeks earlier this week.

Prolia or Zometa
Had a bone density scan and it shows me with
osteopenia
. My MO wants me to start either Prolia or Zometa. He said do some research and let him know. From what I read I am leaning toward Zometa. Anyone firsthand knowledge?

Hyperparathyroidism and kidney disease
Recently I was diagnosed with
Osteopenia
and very high parathyroid hormone levels. Does anyone has high PTH with normal calcium levels in the blood? I’m having the worst symptoms with muscles, joints, heart and no appetite. They usually say PTH rises calcium in the blood but mine is just normal.

Curveball: Actemra and Fosamax!
He said even if I turn down the Actemra (tocilizumab) I should definitely take Fosamax because I have
osteopenia
. But I also have Barrett's Esophagus and think Fosamax could make it considerably and dangerously worse.

Why Sudden increase in degenerative bone disease?
I had a Dexa Scan 3 years ago and 10 years before that and both say mild

Yet another side effect of Prednisone: tendonopathy
Amongst the usual side effects, I have steroid-induced Type 2 diabetes,
osteopenia
and weight gain. And now.....my tendons are so damaged I have rotator cuff syndrome. My physio has given me a bunch of exercises, and says I'll recover eventually. But I am absolutely exhausted by this disease.

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.
