I’ve recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis having bad lower back pain for over a year. All lumbar vertebrae have compression fractures. My head of femur is osteopenic and hip just tips into osteoporosis. The hospital don’t recommend bisphosphonates which is a relief as I really don’t want to take them! I’ve done loads of research and find the most info coming out of USA or Australia. We are miles behind the curve here in Uk! So I’m now upping my protein, supplementing with Vit d3 with K2, collagen, magnesium and calcium though I’m trying to get that through diet not chalk pills which I understand aren’t absorbed into bone very well. I’m also eating 60g of prunes a day as apparently they help drive the calcium into the bones not the arteries! I’m hoping my gp will agree to put me on hrt but she’s unsure and says she will do some research.
Has anyone else gone down this route? I know I need to do weight bearing exercises too but I’m waiting on musculoskeletal clinic to advise what is safe with spine fractures.
