Unfortunately no: There is no cure for osteoporosis and no cure for paget's disease of the bone. Osteoporosis is part of the aging process, wear and tear- no we have not found any fountain of youth yet. Medication is available to help osteoporosis and paget's disease of the bone- that is intended to help relief bony pain, and for other indication- ie. Abnormal blood test etc. Please discuss w/ your md in detail.

Yes: Paget's disease and osteoporosis are typically treated with the same type of meds called bisphosphonate. However, treatment for Paget's requires a higher dosage and can send the disease into remission.
