A member asked:

How can i alleviate suffering from osteoporosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevent accidents.: Although a variety of medications can improve bone density prevention of accidents is very important in reducing the risk of fractures. About 90% of hip fractures occur after a fall. So preventing falls is more important than taking medication to prevent hip fractures.
