A member asked:

What supplements can my grandmother have? she often lays in bed, poor appetite, complain of back pain, xray shows she has fracture due to osteoporosis

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many symptoms: 1: Has anyone begun treatment for her fractures? 2: Is she able to get out of bed and see her primary doctor? If not you should seek a doctor who will make house calls.
