Exercise after spinal fractures | #BoneMatters Extra
I'm wondering why I haven't been given any exercise programmes to do by the hospital.. It's over a year since I had two compression fractures (and when an earlier third was discovered). Before the fractures I practiced yoga most days at home. Every time I mentioned exercise post these fractures, I got a shrug of the shoulders and a dismissive look. It's been a nightmare year frankly. All the pain I've gone through and no help whatsoever. I'll be following these exercises now - definitely. I can't wait to start
I can’t do any of these
Very informative, Just prior to your talk, I was considering going off HRT. I have been diagnosed with low bone density. I have now decided to remain on HRT.
Good information 🙃thanks
Mine has been 10 months and still not better
Thank you from the US.
Fabulous dance routine but suggest needs to slow pace as older brains training applies !
People with physical disabilities are a massively overlooked population who are at increased risk of osteoporosis due to reduced access to weight bearing exercise, yet no screening or intervention is offered.
I was diagnosed 2 days ago. I'm 40 and it's totally messed with my mind. I've broken 5 bones in 12 months. Last one was my rib trying to workout at home. Horrible condition.
What a brilliant video! At last I can do the moves I was told, 13 years ago I couldn’t. With the help from my Pilates teacher of course. Thank you so much for this.
This talk is very bias against REMS. The speaker SHOULD HAVE said that the DXA scanner can ALSO HAVE all the same issues. Poorly trained technician, poor positioning of the patient, false reassurances in the presence of osteoarthritis. DXA is far from perfect. The literature proves that. REMS results are NOT dependant on the technician, patient positioning or osteoarthritis or surgical hardware.
Do you have video on IV ibandronate
I would appreciate a video with people who take medication, in order to know how their general health is after taken the medication for a while. Thanks
Bitte auf Serbisch übersetzen Danke
Very glad to see this wee video - it’s very helpful and has hammered home the importance of taking it properly without being scary. Lesson learned! Thank you xxx
Subclinical hyperthyroidism or hyperthyroidism cause low bone density. I would like to warn anybody who is not gaining weight to get thyroid test. Check TSH levels and if suppressed get a thyroid ultrasound. My son is 22, Never puts on weight and other symptoms. I went private for a dexa sxan and he has osteoporosis at 22, Also low Testosterone. No Dr would of thought to get him a dexa scan. Its only because i have subclinical hyperthyroidism and diagnosed osteopenia at 36, That i got my sons bone density checked.
Thanks to the ROS for putting this video out. Thankfully I have no problems taking this medication. I take it on Monday morning which works best for me. I have a reminder on my phone so I don't forget to take it.
thank you just found i too have to take the same
Thank you saved my life
Very timely for me as following a DEXA scan am waiting to discuss results with GP and make a decision on Meds. A friend suggested HRT as I had an adverse reaction to Andronic Acid. So thank you for such clear guidance
A useful video, always good to know how others are coping with their medication.
More pharma BS, no advice on diet exercise just drugs drugs drugs. Check out the COMB study for an alternative to using dangerous drugs. "According to the results, this combined micronutrient supplementation regimen appears to be at least as effective as bisphosphonates or strontium ranelate in raising BMD levels in hip, spine, and femoral neck sites. No fractures occurred in the group taking the micronutrient protocol."
How safe would low dose estrogen patch be if lab shows low estrogen?
Give me good information thank you . Surgery 5 weeks ago 81 years old no problem at all. Ok I’m fit like a 50 years man but sport has a risk I know it know.
Bone Support Capsules have helped me manage my chronic joint pain. I feel more comfortable and mobile.
😢I’ve lived with a fractured spine for 7 yrs and at times it’s unbearable it’s hard to explain how someone like me could still walk and I look at others that can’t and I feel just as much sadness as they might feel
If you have severe osteoporosis and squeeze your shoulders back to the max you will break a bone, either scapula or vertebra.
I’m three months on from my hip fracture and so thankful that I found your wonderful presentation. You answered so many of the questions that I still had, and after a very tearful day, thinking that ‘normal’ life was over for me, you’ve given me hope that I will get better.
How long can you keep taking Alendronate Acid?
I’ve been told it’s ’for life’. Hey ho!
Thankfully I have no problems taking this medication & I have set a reminder on my mobile so that I don't forget to take it. Thanks for the video
How many times a week should you do these exercises? And do you do all the exercises each time?
I’ve just had this by intravenous infusion - only required once a year 😊
Why do people die from hip fracture? Is it people giving up on life?
I really need vitamin D as I've been taking over 4000mg of different epilepsy medication for so long
Horrid medication never been so unwell. Shame we have to look elsewhere for help.
Always being told this! Well sorry but that’s not true, complained of bone pain for a long time before I was diagnosed.
Menopause is never over.
fed up with the adverts you cant skip
Absolutely
an excellent discussion... intelligent and understandable. Thank you so much
I am 69 got osteoporosis and got fibromyalgia just had lumber spine x.ray got a superior fracture on T11. Just had blood tests in preparation for infusion zolentorate(sorry might spelt wrong)Was advised not to have tablets cause got g.e.r.d and hiatus hernia. Am worried about muscle ache because suffer with muscle pain with fibromyalgia
Thank you so much for a lovely service and meaningful sermon. I have health issues so can only infrequently attend church in person
Very informative. Thank you. I have 2 compression fractures and lean slightly forward now.
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting and informative 14:02
Thank you!
I've had a cough for 6 weeks. Xray clear. But last night I coughed so hard I felt something pop round the back of my ribs. The pain was so bad. I went into a cold sweat and almost passed out. Doctors at A&E had no idea what I'd done, but now I'm scared to cough. Being an asthmatic I need cough to clear phlegm so I'm going to see if these techniques help.
Rheumatoid arthritis would HRT help prevent? My mother had Rheumatoid - thanks
This is good to know. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my lumbar spine. And I am a yoga teacher! I teach chair yoga to seniors a couple times a week. I will use this video to modify a bit. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!!
Took Alendronic Acid as was told 14 years ago if I didn’t I would break a hip and die 😳. Horrible stuff caused me aches and pains but was told to persevere. Broke both wrists and a bone in my foot whilst taking drugs having never broken a bone before except in the trauma accident which caused them to put me on the drugs in the first place. Dexa scans showed an improvement in my bone density but as I later found out not bone strength which is the most important thing. Wish I had never taken drugs. Have been off them for around 7 years but my dentist is still very careful should there ever be a need for extraction. She has seen evidence of osteonecrosis not good and not as rare as the drug company would have you believe. I am not eligible for any further dexa scans as I have refused any further treatment. I have had a REMS scan which shows since I have been off the drugs and following my own regime my bone density and more importantly strength has improved.
I been suffering with compression fracture for six years
Thank you for easing my mind. I have had it several years .
