RE: Osteoporosis - Symptoms and Treatment #1

Has anybody heard about the drugs, that can be taken only once a month, or even once a year, and that can be used for the treatment of osteoporosis? Are they really effective?

I was taking Calcium D3 Nikomed for a period of time, and the result seemed to be good, but once I stopped taking it, back pains were unbearable again.

On X-rays I have osteoporosis, cervical, right elbow, both wrists. In the blood tests calcium indication is normal. I was taking different calcium drugs but osteoporosis increases. What should I do?

What do you think: can a chiropractor improve the situation with osteoporosis? The technique of the osteopathic manipulative therapy is effective for most disorders of posture, scoliosis, kyphosis, pain in the spine and joints.Should I try to go to the reception of a chiropractor? Has anybody tried it?

I have heard that Raloxifene is a medicine that can be prescribed only for women. Is that right? My uncle has hip fracture and needs treatment. Our doctor prescribed Raloxifene, but my uncle bewares it.

Leonard Hi leonard. This drug is called- Parathyroid hormone (Teriparatide [Forteo]), introduced for the treatment of men and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, with severe pains.It usually is prescribed for those, who are at high risk of fractures. It is injected.
