Good morning. I was told I had osteoporosis yesterday and trying to get my head round it. Had two fractures last year after two rather spectacular falls and had perhaps kidded myself I was going to be ok.
Would be grateful for any advice and tips. I have quite a few books on the topic but would value real people info. Determined to be positive but wallowing at times!

Thank you all you amazing gransnetters for the information and support you have shared. My mother and grandmother had osteoporosis so I should not have been surprised. I have taken on board what you have written. What sings out is the positive attitude of so many of you which is of great help. Thank you. Dogs.
