Osteoporosis, are you at risk?: Osteoporosis

» Dubh_Sidhe - Osteoporosis

Traute, my mother (95 years) has this very badly. The hump on her back is terribly deforming. She walks with a walker, is home-bound, and just got out of a 4 weeks hospital stay with it. Rib cage pain is particulary bad for her right now and, of course, Bufferin does nothing to relieve her pain. She has taken the drug of choice, Fosomax, for several years now, which has lessened some of her spinal fractures. It is a terrible condition to have. Thank you for this article.
