Broken #tooth safely extracted. Enormous thanks to my fab #NHS #dentist who came in on his day off to do this for me today. Hoping for trouble free healing, and no #bisphosphonate / #osteoporosis drug related complications. But all good so far. Going back to sleep soon #neuro hopefully. And yes there was a crack running straight down the tooth as we could see after it was removed. #dental #dentistry #NHSScotland

Did not expect to be down a tooth probably tomorrow (probably depending on if the #dental #hospital give approval to my #NHS #dentist, because of my #osteoporosis drugs). But huge thanks to my dentist for seeing me so quickly after I phoned up the practice this morning. He is also - approval permitting - going to come in specially on his day off to pull my tooth tomorrow. Which is very kind of him, albeit something I'd much rather wasn't happening! #dentistry #NHSScotland

I straight up asked my family doctor why he has only been pushing #Prolia drugs on me - telling me it's best/easiest option for #osteoporosis folks. Yet didn't know full drug profile & didn't warn me about very serious side affects. That's not OK.

#ThrowbackThursday
My first time enjoying Pease Lake in the Highlands. 2019.
My friend, Lyrica, introduced me to this lake 🥰 We've been back a few times since this day. We took a small inflatable boat out & paddled to far end of lake. There was only 4 other people at lake at other end.
You can see part of my atrophied legs here - left is thinner than right.

Inspirational story about a 66 year old woman who struggled with #osteoporosis for over a decade, but found strength training stopped the pain. Great to see more people embracing strength workouts!

Pls don't jump at doing recommendations for #osteoporosis exercises if you have #arthritis in hands/wrists/ankles.

DON'T follow anything you see online before checking in with your medical team because there's a lot of bad advice online.

Please, work with your personal support & medical team to develop safe exercises for your personal health conditions.

Many wall/heel bending recommendations for osteoporosis ppl will harm your body more, if you've got underlying physical health issues too.

@cobalt @seachanger @handmade_ghost Please start taking this combo supplement instead. I'll post info soon on another very helpful supplement for our #osteoporosis issues.

My doctor was pushing #Prolia but after some early research, talking to my dentist & taking an #osteoporosis master class (put together by an #orthopedic surgeon & #BoneHealth specialist) - am very hesitant about getting this injection medication.

If you've also been diagnosed with #osteoporosis can you please share your experiences with medications that worked for you & ones you had difficulties with? I've been given a few different medication options & am doing some research & also want to hear from other osteoporosis patients who were diagnosed years ago. I'm a bit scared about harsh side effects. I don't take many pharmaceuticals & am pretty sensitive to most pharma drugs.

I'm looking at several dietary & supplements changes too.

Ouch, I think I managed to bruise or crack my bottom left rib. I had a bowl on the floor that I had put down to let the dog finish my dinner last night, and I landed on it when I fell. It would hurt anyone, but #osteoporosis adds to the risk of broken ribs.

I’ve accidentally kicked my toes against things 3 times this week which I’m convinced would’ve resulted in at least one break around a year ago. Seems like all the weight bearing exercises and HRT are working! 💪

#osteoporosis

Was walking a bit with a friend who has *no cartilage* in her knees yesterday - never knew that cartilage doesn't grow back. She has to take weight-bearing exercise for osteoporosis, but "I'll pay for this tonight," she said #Cartilage #knees #osteoporosis

I'm not sure how I've managed to get an #osteoporosis diagnosis in my 40's but I guess here we are :blobeyes:
