Anyone have any recommendations for osteoporosis? Apparently I have a compression fracture (from 2021) that isn’t healing, although I’m not in any ongoing or severe pain. If I do have pain, I’m able to manage it with over the counter meds. I’m looking into either an orthopedic or spine Dr, only because I don’t know if I may be at risk for spinal injury. Any ideas or suggestions?

From listening to people who've had spinal issues and were on the verge of surgery, it seems strength training is what kept them from getting any invasive intervention. If you feel ok, I'd take that as a good sign. Ortho or spine docs are incentivized to cut no matter what.
Thank you! I have heard of that place, however it’s over an hour from me unfortunately. I did buy a weighted vest to wear on walks and am gonna try to start doing more weight lifting.
I had severe disc rupture and dislocation in my lower back around 20-25 years or so ago, very painful, could not do basically anything for months. Even getting out of bed was successful only by gently rolling my lower body out of bed to the floor and using my hands to lift me to upright position using different furniture, little by little. Form the x-rays , some doc told me then that i might have 'osteopenia' that is pre-osteoporosis, in my lower back and hips (used to spend my days mostly sitting in my car, sitting at my desk at work or sitting at my computer at home, no wonder)
Discovered an exercise device called Reverse Hyper, invented by powerlifter Louie Simmons who had broken his back and doctors told him he was lucky if he would ever walk again - Simmons cured himself with this device of his own invention and was able to lift better than before he had broken his back :D
I managed to heal my disc/back problems with the Reverse Hyper device within surprisingly shot time and have not had back issues since. Sure after i recovered enough, i changed my desk at work and at home to version where you could stand while working with the computer, no sitting in chairs for 12 hours in a row anymore.
Changed my exercise and eating habits radically to the better too back then, and some 4-5 years back i broke few ribs while dropping on top of a bench from the roof, had an x-ray and asked them to look if there was any osteopenia or osteoporosis visible and they said no. So a lot of things can be cured by right methods, maybe give the Reverse Hyper a try ? I sure am glad i found that, and went forward from there.
Correction to my reply above for osteoporosis, , that should read Prolozone, prolotherapy is similar but usually without the ozone. Sorry for the mistake, it should read Prolozone - Ozone injections.
Consider Prolotherapy, which is ozone injections, a simple procedure i have had many times over the years with Excellent results - including OA problems. Hopefully you can find a practitioner in your area who does these. search through https://www.youtube.com/@RobertRowenMD for various testimonials. Here is one on osteo knee and more, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YEk4gZwCrc Dr Robert Rowen MD also has a substack, The Rowen Report,
I make it myself, but you can order it online as well. I watched several you tube videos of how to make my own eggshell calcium with organic eggs. Boil them and then dry them out in a low oven, grind them very fine and put in capsules. I make quite a lot at a time. Not difficult and free , except to buy the gelatin capsules and I bought a grinder [coffee] used only for that purpose. I did lots of research and had tried many other methods first, which I could not tolerate because of side effects. This seems to be working great!
Wow no kidding. So have you been tested to see if this is helping your bones? How long have you been doing this, if you don’t mind me asking? And, it doesn’t cause any stomach issues?
i GUESS I have been doing this for more than a year now, a year and a half? I have no stomach issues and no weird side effects like other things I tried which were supposed to help which said they were "natural ". There are those people who add the ground up eggshell powder to a smoothie or other food and take it that way too, altho i never have. Just search any questions you have on the internet and you will find the answers to your questions with a bit of reading. I READ MANY, MANY COMMENTS/REVIEWS ON THIS [ON THE INTERNET, YOU TUBE VIDEOS] TO FIND OUT HOW TO GRIND THE EGG SHELLS, TO FILL CAPSULES AND HOW MUCH TO TAKE, ETC. There were excellent video demonstrations for preparing the eggshells and grinding them also. JUST PUT YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE SEARCH BAR. I found an Indian DR who gave all the other supplements to take with the eggshell calcium so it is absorbed into the bones rather than just in the bloodstream. Just a few hours of research. I FEEL REALLY GOOD AND HAVE HAD NO BREAKS OR ANYTHING. I am sure you will find what you need this way. I am preparing a load of eggshells today as a matter of fact! God bless!
JS, another suggestion is PEMF which has a reputation of helping the healing on non-healing Fractures. ( also known as Magnetic Pulsers.) From NIH.gov , Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are a type of biophysical stimulation that has been shown to be effective in improving bone regeneration and preventing bone loss. Their use dates back to the 1970s, but a gold standard treatment protocol has not yet been defined. Link, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8945722/ I have a PEMF device from Canada which is good value at US$420, I use it a lot. Have also been treated by a practitioner atleast a dozen times with a $25,000 unit which is much more powerful. For $420 I find this unit has enough power to do the job ( takes longer obviously ) and is convenient to use at home, just don't put it near your car keys or phone or credit cards as the pulse can damage them. So thats another idea for you to research. ( I had a fracture to a vertebra Lumbar area about 8 years ago so know the problem unfortunately ) I also have a Russian designed microcurrent unit - actually 2 types, known as an Enar and Scenar, Great devices too for this kind of thing I have found, a similar device I have not used is Avazzia, it may be easier to find these days, but I have not used this brand. My first choice is Prolozone from a practitioner - ozone injections, as I get a fast response, for me often only 1 treatment will calm an area down. A starting point to search for prolozone practitioners could be this site, https://aaot.us/ If I didnt have the options mentioned above - a basic magnet possibly would be worth a try, Therapeutic magnets are often neodymium or rare earth magnets. Researchers have studied their use in healthcare, link,- https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/magnetic-therapy-for-osteoporosis Pulsed magnetic therapy seems to be much more preferred, but a static magnet is very cheap to buy, and can be taped onto the area to see if it helps.??
Wow thank you so much. I have done some PEMF treatments at the chiropractor, but it gets pricey to keep it up. I was looking into a home model, but being unsure of which is a good product can be overwhelming. Would you possibly have a link for yours? Do you know if it has helped?
I would definitely have an ortho look at it and get an MRI to see what kind of nerve compression is already happening. I kicked a back injury down the when I was in the military because I didn't want to be medically retired. Well it caught up to me big time at 39 and had paralysis of my right leg. Had to get surgery to fix it and it never fully recovered. Had to get surgery again at 49 when the fix blew out. Take from me, small cut now or big cut and permanent damage later.

You need to lift weights!! Start slow!! There’s a gym called Osteo strong that helps women who have osteoporosis. Also, I hope this helps.

I believe Swanson's carries it.
Thank you, however I’m not sure what Swanson’s is.
www.swansonvitamins.com Swanson's is a mail order Vit/supplement Supplier.
Oh ok, thank you
