Osteoporosis:
Weak Bones
Hurt Us All

Beyond the Pain of Osteoporosis:


Weak Bones Hurt Us All In Many Ways.

There are many problems from this.

Certainly it is very expensive, and the costs are often paid through the ever-higher taxes workers pay into the Medicare system.

Worse than that is the pain and suffering that results.

Vertebral fractures often are not very painful, but fractures of the hip are both painful and disabling.

Bed-rest is needed to heal a broken hip. The weeks a person spends off their feet while the fracture heals causes additional loss of bone.

This makes a person even more at risk for another fracture once they are on their feet again.

And, while a person is healing in bed, they are unable to care for themselves.

They cannot cook their own meals, or even walk to the kitchen.

Independence is lost, and many people become depressed because they cannot do even simple things they were able to do easily before the fracture.

After a hip fracture, a person must have help in all areas of normal living for many weeks, often many months.

Complications from the fracture all too often result in death.

So osteoporosis costs all of us money, it creates a significant loss of independence, and in some cases
people die.

Prevention of a hip fracture is simple compared
with trying to return to normal after a hip fracture.
