: Is anyone familiar with this new procedure for osteoporosis? If so, I would appreciate any info.
Marci,
I have researched this procedure and they inject
a large neelde in the needed area with a cement like substance. I ruled this out for I too sufer
from osteoporsis and fracturerd vertibra and since
I am small framed they said it`s comman this would
possibly break some ribs due to the pressure of
the procedure. Hope I helped.
