Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Osteoarthritis is deficiency of calcium deposition in bones.
So you are need to take calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements daily.
Alendronate (PTH hormone) is newer treatment optional first severe osteoporosis. It absorb calcium from the gut and help its deposition in bones.
These drugs also help in bursitis.
Limb physiotherapy to strengthen muscles is also beneficial.
