Hi dear..can understand the problem but strontium is used as adjuvant therapy for osteoporosis..its not a complete alternative for calcium and vitamin D supplement so if you have to continue with it and calcium rich diet..you have to monitor your calcium and vitamin D levels regularly.you can also consult your orthopedic doctor to give you alternative or taper the dose for relief from side effects
