Osteoporosis: Sarina, if you indeed have osteoporosis there are many approved, excellent therapies to prevent further bone loss and increase bone density. You also need to make sure that the person doing the bone density study has been properly trained - way too many are no trained and mistakes are ignored.

Osteoporosis: Hi. There are many great treatments to prevent & treat osteoporosis. Start with healthy lifestyle. Regular weight-bearing exercise, don't smoke, get good nutrition, including adequate calcium and vitamin D intake. Have you had a bone density test? Treatment can be directed by T-score & FRAX score (should be online; uses risk factors to assess fracture risk). Talk with your doctor, & live normally!
