Is osteoporosis actually without symptoms?

Posted , 12 users are following.

I have felt some weakness in my back. I tire easily and have to rest after standing in particular. There are other issues with my back such as bulging discs, mild scoliosis and arthritis

I am walking with rests and I am at 15 to 20 minutes daily weather permitting. 

Comments welcome from people who identify with my comments or ideas about how I could improve my situation.

I have to be careful not to set off my sacroiliac area which probably comes from the bulging discs bs I do this by sitting on straight chairs or just doing too much like going out.

Hope everyone is as well as is possible depending on your situation.

    Hi,

    How do you cope with the pain? Tried co-codamol was still in a lot of pain now been given a pain patch which is doing nothing.

    Raloxifene is used for preventing as well as treating bone loss (osteoporosis) after menopause in women. This medication helps to slow down the bone loss and keeps them strong which makes them less likely to break. Raloxifene generic drug is available in the brand name of Evista. This medicine is not for use in men.
