Yes. My mum has osteoporosis and has to go to the day ward once a year for a drip infusion of alendronic acid. She hasn’t had a bone scan for about three years and as she’s elderly and a fall risk, I asked our GP about one. I was told it shouldn’t be a problem and to expect an appointment in due course - however long that will be. I don’t think you should be afraid to ask - osteoporosis has a knock on effect on other things so it’s not just a case of long term medication, it needs monitoring.
The human touch…….flight booking.
