Question:
I was diagnosed with Osteopina & Osteoporosis now what?
I was given the tests reults and I have Osteopina of the Hip and Osteoporosis of the Spine and was told I am at a danger zone . Is there any kind of exercise or anything i can do. I have been put on a regiment of Flosomax, Vitamin D, & (Calcium 500 mg 3x a day) what more can I do. The DR said to walk which I do but when I do my hip burns like crazy, is this a sign of something going bad already.
Answers:
Some studies have shown that bone mass will decrease when exercise training stops. Therefore, for an exercise program to help maintain healthy bones it needs to be continued. It is important for you to consult your doctor prior to beginning any exercise program. He/she will be able to prescribe the right exercises for you.
Here is a great information only site that talks about exercises you can do with Osteoporosis:
