Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

You need to start supplement of calcium with vitamin D, vit B12, and if osteoporosis is severe then bisphophonates can be started.
teriparatide injection may also help you .

I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
Hip and thigh exercises will increase T score.

You need to take diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
