    I have a bad case of oestoporosis. I have been told that the drug I have been told that the drug forteo helps to build bone and reduce the risk of fractures. I would like to know more about this drug. Last year I had a compress fracture and I don’t want to go thru that again. Please send me this information/forteo

      i am on fosamax can only get this through doctor and quite dear unless on health card, you take 1 per week and builds up bones although you have to do exercise as well, I still have bad oesteoporosis, if you have had bone densisty test and are in critical level or certain level, dr contacts the health department for authorisation first.

    I have critical level of oesteoporosis now turned arthritic I put up with pain and very rarely take pain killers, I walk briskly for about 3/4 hours best done early, I go to the gym yes we older people go to the gym and do some light weights then 1/2 hour on bike with the seat behind it and then 20-30min on treadmill. Deep water walking in the swimming pool is the best and good for weight also, I wear a belt around my waist and also using a kickboard in the pool. We can beat this, I am under a physiotherapist and yes I take fosamax for oesteo once a week and am increasing my calcium level. I am going to beat this and I am only 2 years younger than your mum in law. Good luck
