I am 51. I had a scan earlier this year and it showed osteopenia. I went to an orthopedic surgeon for a knee problem. After I got a steroid shot in the knee I did some exercise and this aggravated my issue. Therefore, he determined that my knee pain had its origin somewhere else and ordered a hip/lower spine x-ray. There he has seen that my bone density was low and I had to take the bone density scan. I am 5ft 10, 170 lbs, not post menopausal, small framed, video exerciser for 20 plus years. He thinks that because I nursed my babies for at least 36 months that this sucked the calcium out of my bones.
I am taking one caltrate a day, and add a citracal serving on some days. The New York Times has an opinion piece about osteopenia. The writer says comparing your bones at 50 to your bones at 30 and then concluding that your bones are sick, is like saying you have a skin disease at 50 because your skin is more wrinkly than at 30. I agree with her. https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/...ltPosition=1th I will take another test in two years. |

https://melioguide.com/ A book I recommend is, "The Myth of Osteoporosis" by Gillian Sanson. ETA: Yikes, the price for the paperback is crazy. Try the Kindle edition: https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Osteopor...=UTF8&qid=&sr= Take care and good luck!
