A member asked:
My grandaunt has severe knee and feet pain.she doesn't have arthritis but has osteoporosis.is there a treatment and cure for it.she can hardly walk.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The pain she experiences is not related to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis only causes pain if there is a fracture involved. I would doubt an 81 year does not have some degree of arthritis. Have her see a rheumatologist. There is no cure for osteoporosis but there are very effective therapies.
