Question: I will finish a two year round of Forteo in October. I am have serious pain in most bones and joints. I am experiencing cramps in my legs, but mostly the backs of my arms and fingers. My scores have not changed -3.6 & -3.5. I took reclast for 3 years and then the wedge fracture were found. This visit the endo. dr told me I have scoliosis. That was the first time I knew this. What can I do next. The pain in my neck, shoulder, hip and complete exhaustion and aching bone pain is growing so strong. Am I destined to endure the condition? Would a pain clinic be of help? Desperate.
Brief Answer:
You can take Calcitonin nasal spray for osteoporosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
At age of 70 there can be degenerative wear of bones, muscles, ligament and loss of elasticity of muscles, due to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12 and carnitine. Scoliosis may be due to the same parameters. So supplements of these nutrients will benefit you. You need to start supplement of calcium with vitamin D and vit B12. Your local doctors will know about it.
Muscle cramps can be reduced by
Massaging the cramped muscle with your hands or oil
Drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration
Stretching your leg muscles or riding a stationary cycle.
Taking diet rich in calcium and potassium or oral supplements of the same
Reclast has many side effects; so I would avoid it in future. Instead you can try Calcitonin nasal spray for osteoporosis. This has fewer side effects; you can start this consulting your doctor.
I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
Yes pain clinic will help to control pain but not treat the ailment. If you choose to visit pain killer avoid steroid shot as this may increase osteoporosis.
