Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How should I choose a doctor who specializes in osteoporosis or check with my family or orthopedic doctor. Every time I fall I break something. My last fall I broke both legs and right hip. They did hip replacement and told me I had osteoporosis without doing the test, which I agree. They had hard time with knee surgery had to rebuild area so how do I choose the right doctor and what should I expect?
I understood your problem.. look osteoporosis is a aging disorder as age advances it happens in each and everyone's life.. it cant be revert its a natural phenomenon .. one thing we do is we just slower down this phenomenon with medications.. Yes although there are some tests to detect how severely you having osteoporosis or better to say your bone quality affected some of them are DEXA scan.. I generally suggest my patients having weak bone just to modify life style avoid heavy works and avoid sudden jerky activities , take calcium and vitamin D supplements, milk and some time medications Bisphonates by Dr advice .. hope i'll be helpful happy to help you..
