Anybody got any input on these.
Like all things, it depends where you are on the osteoporotic scale of things - osteopaenic through to multiple pathological fractures. If you have had a pathological fracture did it heal well? Have you had DEXA scans? If so, are the stable or degrading? And of course, the perpetual kicker - age and gender.

How is your diet for calcium rich elements and what is your Vitamin D score running at? Is that with or without a supplement?

The patient information leaflet for Alendronic Acid (often the first line treatment) is usually quite informative. If you don’t have it to hand, it’s certainly available online.

Sorry for the gazillions questions, but each is important in terms of your needs or otherwise.
