A member asked:
I'm paralysed and my leg bones have become very brittle, is it true the more active you get your bones will become more resilient over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Make sure you are getting enough vitamin d and calcium. I would suggest that you contact your doctor and have them refer to physical therapy. You need resistance training to strengthen your bones. Get active.
