Hello

Welcome to HCM

As per your history you are suffering from osteoporosis

Osteroporosis has significant disability, morbidity, mortality, and expenses associated with osteoporotic fractures treatment is aimed at fracture prevention.

Preventive measure to follow

1. Increasing weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises

2. Taking adequate calcium along with vitamin D.Good dietary sources of calcium include dairy products, nuts, sunflower seeds and ragi.
Good dietary sources of vitamin D include eggs, liver, butter, fatty fish.

3. Medically bisphosphonates are beneficial in treating osteoporosis

I suggest you to visit nearby endocrinologist or rheumatologist for proper evaluation and further management

Thank You

Regards
Dr.Om
