I think a lot of women are frightened about the prospect of developing certain diseases like maybe breast cancer or skin cancer. But I haven’t talked to too many women who have expressed concern about getting osteoporosis.
I used to be one of these women. Although I was dealing with all sorts of health issues from my hysterectomy, the idea that I’d someday be diagnosed with osteoporosis was not even a blip on my radar. Then I found out I had osteopenia, and all bets were off.

As women, we are probably all aware of the importance of getting an annual exam, and for those of us over 40, a yearly mammogram.
But what about an annual bone density test? How many of you out there who are over 40 have gotten one of those lately?

I would like to know if my stress from taking care of a wheeelchair and bed bound spouse affect any of my current conditions. I know if I get away for a couple of hours I feel much better, but it tires me out. I could easily sleep most of the day if I had time.
I had serious surgery in Nov 2007 for an ulcer that would not heal so nopw there are medications, such as for Ostoperosis that I can no longer take. Also I can no longer take Celebrex for my arthritis.
Any suggestions for substitutes?
Thanks

Most of us have heard that physical activity can help with the osteoporosis, but most of us don’t know that physical activity is presented as the only known intervention that can potentially increase bone mass and strength in the early years of life and reduce the risk of falling in older populations according to a new Position Stand from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) posted November 2004.

I’m sure you’ve seen one or more television ads for biphosphonate drugs such as Fosamax (alendronate) or Boniva (ibandronate) that picture healthy, vibrant midlife women selling you on the idea that you need a drug to ensure healthy bones for a lifetime. Would that life were that easy! Before taking or continuing to take one of these drugs, you need to know the full story. Then you can make a truly informed decision.

Simply stated, osteoporosis is a misbalance between bone construction and destruction, where the building activity of bone is greatly diminished resulting in an overall loss of bone density and ultimately, weaker bones. The bone deteriorating disease is preventable, yet over 44 million Americans, most of which are women, currently suffer from the disease making it a common concern among women of all ages, but particularly those over 50.

I have severe osteoporosis and I've fractured both femurs since my spinal cord injury. The good news is that I have matching X-rays. The bad news is that I've learned that I am incredibly fragile.

We all know to consume calcium for good, strong, healthy bones. Many of us also know that consuming Vitamin D helps our body absorb calcium, which can also promote the development of healthy, strong bones. (Vitamin D can be found in milk, fatty fish, dark leafy vegetables…and sunlight!).

EmpowHer asks Dr. Neil Binkley if there's a connection to drinking carbonated soft drinks and porous bones?
Dr. Binkley: That sounds like a simple question. The short answer is yes, there is an association. As a society, we have replaced a food that has a large amount of important bone nutrients -— milk -— with a food that has almost no nutritional value -— diet soda.
