: :In a nutshell; every time I would exercise, my knees would hurt. so, I went to the doctor. He took X-Rays, my knees were ok, but he noticed my bones were thinning. needless to say, I had a bone density scan- results were osteoporosis. I am 48 years old, have not been through menapause, yet, Iam not a smoker or drinker, nor have I taken steroids. I am also negative for Thyroid disease. Fosamax gives me reaaly bad reflux. With Calcium ,Iget nauseated. Anyone have any suggestions?By the way, I am afraid of Estrgen because of breast cancer.
I too get nauseated from calcium intake. I won't take evista because I have had breast cancer, although one doctor suggests it. My suggestion for you is walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. And get a few back exercises that can be done laying on your back that strengthens the spine. Get a book on osteoporosis and pick out a few for yourself and do them carefully.
