I was wondering how is the level of pain that you have because of the severe osteoporosis?I have also spinal issues(DDD.OA,C3C4C5C6C7,L3L4L5,S5 bulge discs ans pinch nerve at C6C7 and L4L5)I have had already allot of trettments and spinal injections with steroids etc.,and maby because the level of pain that I have increased in time like never worked or make my situation worst,I"ve received the Fibromyalgia diagnostic. Now I have seen a physiotherapist who think that" I should not be in my debilitating weacknes and pain just because of some Stenosis".So please,help me with your answers if you can about  how bad the level of pain can be with my 5,2 and 3,6 T score,or that my bones pain cannot be related to osteoporosis.Thank you

    Hi my levels are worse than yours and classed ad critical and I still get very little pain with it, I didnt think it caused pain as such but just major weakness in the bones, hence fractured hip and pelvis and few minor spine fractures which sadly are not healing, think you need to look more at the bigger picture, how old are you and what treatment have they offered you

    The pain is not related to osteoporosis but all the other issues with your back.

    I have arthritis in the back as well as bulging discs and nerve pain going down into the sacroiliac and a general deterioration of the spine not related to osteoporosis. My worst tscore in the lower back is -4.3 or was a while ago.

    My son has just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and he is in a lot of pain so that is another big one for you. He even thought he was having a heart attack it was so bad. It put his blood pressure up very high as well.

    Is the 5 score in the back for you! That is not good.

    Please let us know what treatments are being offered to you?
