I am Full of Holes

This is the first time I have. heard about it.You should follow your doctor's advice.I don't know anybody having this problem.I hope you will recover soon. Do you have any problem when you sit or walk??

Vitamina D is fundamental but also strength training, train with weights (1 or 2 kilos) to help your bones.

I really hope he gave you tips to reverse the damage. Start taking vitamins, and also a separate calcium supplement. Get more milk in your diet for sure.

I'm at risk of it. I have a prolia injection in the stomach once eveery six months. I take Vitamin D and calcium supplements and I try to do weight-bearing and other exercise as much as possible.

I had osteoporosis and was on Fosamax for a while. Now I take Calcium and D3 every day and don't have that problem anymore. Make sure you take D3 and not just D. Have a good weekend.

First and foremost, don't be frightened!!! When you're out and around do you happen to notice older people that are slumped over? Thats from the bone density loss, or osteoporosis. Now, you need to start taking your vitamins. Vitamin D and calcium are at the top of the list, as long as you're taking vitamins add vitamin C and multivitamins to the list. It will take a little while, but your bones will build back up and there will be less chance of falling and breaking a bone (as for glassware or china that's a different story. That depends on what part of the house or store you're in. Since the doctor wasn't too specific about what bones where and didn't advise you to walk with a cane, you still must be in pretty good shape. When I took the fall on the motorscooter, I only broke my ankle, so my bones must still be in good shape, although I should be taking calcium and D vitamins to my list. Also, exercise will help strengthen the bones, but don't start exercising by playing pro football!!! Start with walks, short ones and then lengthening them as you go along. I remember when I lived with Mom she had us on enough vitamins that we didn't need to eat breakfast after swallowing all the pills. If you need more information, there are some really great books about the various vitamins and eating right (though you might have to dump some favorites....like chocolate.) If you would like some titles let me know and I'll see if I can find them online.

My doctor gave me a prescription to take weekly. Also told me to take D3 and Calcium. I couldn't stomach the calcium so the pharmacist said Tums would work. The next bone scan showed improvement, so the dr. Took me off the weekly prescription for a year. Weight bearing exercise is vital to help bone density. I was in the beginning stages and didn't require the shots. So far.

I have osteopenia and I am still young. They recommended vitamin D, calcium and physical exercises. And I need to gain weight. They said medication is ruining my bones and teeth.
