Osteoporosis Treatment Questions

Asked for male, 41 years old from Kanyakumari

My mom is 156 cms height and is 120 kgs in weight. She is 70 years old and is diabetic and has high blood pressure. Recently due to low bone density and overweight her hip bone near acetabulum got cracked but did not move out of position. The doctor has advised complete bed rest and said that the bone will heal by itself as it was too risky to perform surgery. She has been given zoledronic acid 4 mg injection some 10, 12 days back to improve bone density. It's been 2 weeks that she she has been in total bed rest and she can turn one side for now. Is it advisable to try and make her sit when having food or is it too soon? Please advise.

It is too early. Conservative treatment of hip fractures need at least 6 weeks of rest. Do not try to make her sit bedside or stand. She can sit with back support. Haven't mentioned whether she has been given traction or not.

You need to take a combination of bisphosphonates, vitamin d3, calcium and vitamin b12, as well as increase water & protein intake. In combination with regular walks, your t-scores will improve over time (2-3 years). Cheers.

It is better to follow one system of Medicine rather than combining multiple systems . Each drug may. react with each other and nullify or produce fresh side effects .In arthritic conditions Physical exercises ,yoga and respiratory exercises will also help to minimise the pain Even if a gap is there on consuming the medicines will be there in the body for a long time
