Default osteoporosis

wow i wish i had the answers to this one!! As a health fanatic, I have through the years taken my calcium, drank lots of milk, etc.. as was always recommended.

However that being said I'm only 58 and Have severe osteoporosis. Yes I have been on all the meds and my bones are so bad that the last two yrs I have done the daily injection of Forteo into my stomach. I never miss a day at the gym, I do everything right and still the bones are not good.

My case, it has to be heredity. There have been studies that in China and other countries where they do NOT eat as much dairy as we do, their bones are better so who really knows??

do what you can, (most important they say is weight bearing exercise) take your calcium, take meds if prescribed and hopefully you'll improve !!
