how to treat bone loss in a SCI patient during menopause?

dimanche 8 mai 2016

I've been a C5/6 quad for 15 years now and have really healthy bones until menopause hit. now I have 10% bone loss in 1 hip. my SCI doctor has put me on fosomax. my ob/gyn is hesitant to put me on hormones because of the blood clot risk. should I just do the fosomax and re-evaluate after my next yearly dexascan?

I'm also on calcitonin, take a good quality calcium w/magnesium and D3. I don't drink carbonated beverages. unfortunately, I don't stand either (long story)

Wise? SCI nurse?
