A member asked:

I have osteoporosis and by xor at say my son is cracked and my bones are starting to splinter can i do something to fix them i'm in so much pain. thx.

Treatment: There are several treatments for osteoporosis available now that help rebuild bone. If you actually have fractures, you need to see an orthopedic surgeon to discuss what can be done for them and which of the treatments would be best for you. Hope this helps.
