A member asked:
Are osteoporosis and cppd related? my lumbar spine t-score is -3.2 and i recently had a bad episode of cppd at base of thumb.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: The only way i can see a direct connection is that patients with cppd may be treated with a steroid to decrease inflammation and that could lower bone density if steroids are used on a constant basis. I would get treatment for your osteoporosis and treatment for your cppd.
