can osteoporosis be reversed - #25815
I am really worried about my mom. She’s 68 and just got diagnosed with osteoporosis last month. The doc was saying some stuff about her bones being really brittle, which honestly terrified me. She’s been dealing with back pain for a while now, and we kinda brushed it off as just aging, but now I guess it all makes sense. I keep thinking, can osteoporosis be reversed? She's started taking calcium and vitamin D supplements but I don’t know if that’s enough. Is there really a way or treatments out there that can help? I heard some people say that with the right diet and maybe exercise, bones can get stronger but can osteoporosis be reversed — like actually? Or is that just wishful thinking? I've seen conflicting info online saying that meds help, but then I read others say it’s possible to manage it but not really reverse it. My mom is really keen on staying active, she loves her gardening and walking, but I’m scared that if she overdoes it, she might fall. Honestly, with everything I read about can osteoporosis be reversed, it feels like a mindgame. Anyone here been through something similar? Just looking for advice or insight, really!
