Default I was diagnosed with Osteopina & Osteoporosis now what?

I was given the tests reults and I have Osteopina of the Hip and Osteoporosis of the Spine and was told I am at a danger zone . Is there any kind of exercise or anything i can do. I have been put on a regiment of Flosomax, Vitamin D, & (Calcium 500 mg 3x a day) what more can I do. The DR said to walk which I do but when I do my hip burns like crazy, is this a sign of something going bad already.

i'm sorry i can't help you with the types of exercises that you can do, or answer your questions on the pain of medication. But what i can suggest is that you raise awarness about Osteoporosis, it effects so many women not just middle aged women either so more needs to be to done to get funding for treatment and possibly a cure. Talk you your friends and talk to them about the signs and spread awarness.

I have what you have, and walking works well for me, but weight-bearing exercises (like weight-lifting) is also very helpful. It strengthens your bones. Of course, only do this if you doc says it's okay. If you just sit around and do nor exercise it will only get worse not better. Good Luck.

Do you also have arthritis, perhaps? That could be a cause of the burning feeling. Walking helps.
