Avatar n tn I am a 59 year old female.The reading on my bone density test is minus 4.1 for my spine and minus 2.6 for my legs and hip. However, my doctor isn't prescribing any medication for me but tells me to continue taking calcium supplement and Vitamin D and come back in a year to do another test.

605893 tn?1220181685 Osteoporosis is most common in women after menopause, when it is called postmenopausal osteoporosis, but may also develop in men, and may occur in anyone in the presence of particular hormonal disorders and other chronic diseases or as a result of medications, specifically glucocorticoids, when the disease is called steroid- or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
Avatar m tn Some professionals think that it is a precursor to the development of osteoporosis, a type of bone disease. Despite this, not all cases of osteopenia lead to that condition. Causes Various factors can be behind the development of osteopenia. As mentioned, people with hypothyroidism may have this issue show up. Due to the loss of estrogen, it is relatively common in post-menopausal females. Certain lifestyle factors can also worsen the condition.
Avatar f tn I have never seen any literature stating that neupogen can add to osteoporosis. In addtion there does not seem to be any reason that it would cause osteoporosis. You should have the bone density scan as always, but would not fear the neupogen.
Avatar f tn Has anyone been treated for osteoporosis with intravenous medication rather than orally? I have a very sensitive stomach and am afraid the oral medications may get me sick,so I am considering the intravenous therapy. Are there side effects ot the intravenous therapy? Thanks.
294425 tn?1288528395 Hey Guys, just a quick question. Have any of you been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis? I just found out last week that I have it really bad - they said they almost never see numbers this bad in someone my age. (I'll be 47 in May.) My bones are worse than my mom's, and she's 75! I am at extremely high risk for fractures now, especially in my hips, spine and wrists.
Avatar n tn My husband has had osteoporosis for 7 years being diagnosed @ age 55. It is quite severe and Fosomax , calcium and Vit D has not helped. What could be causing the continual decline of his bone health? No doctor ever addresses the underlying problem , if there is one.
Avatar m tn I'm a 59 y/o postmenopausal female that was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis with a T score of -3.2. Was sent to an endocrine doc and did several blood tests as well. The doc wanted to start me on hormone therapy and injections based on my bone density test. I was prescribed the estrogen Duavee 20 mg daily and Prolia 60 mg shots every 6 months. Has anyone had experience with Duavee or Prolia?
Avatar f tn Early results seem to be very promising. At the very least, taking an osteoporosis drug will treat your osteoporosis. If there is an added benefit - even better! Thinking of you.
Avatar n tn Hi, all. I am a 59 year old petite, postmenopausal, woman with osteoporosis. My lumbar spine score is -3.1 I do not want to use the meds which are available and wonder if anyone here successfully improved their scores via focused exercise, weight vests, and dietary adjustments? I read one woman's account online about how she turned it around completely using natural options and lots of discipline, but I want to be realistic.
109530 tn?1279743796 I went today for a bone density test - I have bad osteoporosis. The doctor thought I was too young - guess not! Anyhow - I see the neurologist for MS screening on Monday. Anyone know how common osteoporosis is with MS? Thanks for any information!
Avatar m tn Once a day before that. Doc says should be no problem. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine (aver. -3.2) and osteopenia in my hip. I am very active, martial arts instructor. 5'11" and 185 lbs. I was told to cut back the Prevacid to once a day. My blood work shows no obvious problems. Has prevacid been linked to Osteoporosis? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/236579'>Prevacid and Osteoporosis</a>.
7469840 tn?1409845836 3 for right hip means osteopenia, pre-osteoporosis. 2.8 in left hip means osteoporosis. So new doc is putting me on Fosamax, calcium and Vitamin D, says it takes 1.5-2 years to regrow bone. I keep telling myself it is better than having hcv!
Avatar f tn 'I already have osteoporosis.' - then do what you need for it 100% Synthroid - I wouldn't worry, its very controversial. Not taking thyroid med can cause worse things, like a coma years from now.
