Do you or someone who may have osteoporosis?

This is to say that their bones are weak, which puts them at risk of fracture. If so, this may be the most impactful article to read.

You may be worried that:

• One or both of your parents/grandparents had osteoporosis and fractured a bone or more than one bone
• The smallest impact would cause a fracture in one of your bones
• You’ll become disabled, and have to rely on others to help you just get through your day
• If you don’t do anything about it, you’ll become frail
• With all this concern, you’ll become a burden on your kids and grandkids

Osteoporosis is no joke. You don’t feel pain, and you often don’t even know you have it until 1 of 2 things happens:

1. Your doctor orders a bone density scan and diagnoses you with osteoporosis: brittle bones.
2. You fracture or break a bone with seemingly little impact. Not a crazy snowboarding accident that would break the bones of even a strong, young man. But even something as gentle as bumping into your bedpost at night. Then, there’s pain.
