Osteoporosis treatment process, side effects, and treatment preparation process

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and kept putting off treatment.

Then, during this health checkup, my numbers got worse, so I went to the hospital and started treatment.

I am currently working on recovery after preparing for the injection before starting treatment.

 

My osteoporosis score came out to be -3.8.

The initial osteoporosis score was around -2.

And 4 years ago it was _2.8

I thought osteoporosis would be cured by controlling diet and exercising, but that wasn't the case.

I went to the hospital because my condition got worse during this health checkup and I thought I couldn't do it anymore.

 

For osteoporosis treatment, first submit the health checkup results (osteoporosis photos and results sheet).

The doctor's explanation continued.

To treat osteoporosis, there are oral medications and injectables, and it is said that injectables are more effective than oral medications.

So I chose the injection.

The doctor also said that I should get an injection because my condition was so bad.

He said that the side effects of the injection I'm getting could be bad, such as necrosis of the mandibular bone, so I should take calcium supplements to strengthen my bones.

If you have a tooth extraction while you are receiving injections for osteoporosis treatment, all the treatment you have received will be in vain, so I told you to go to the dentist first to check the condition of your teeth through a checkup and get scaling done.

I went to the dentist and got an examination.

And it is said that treatment for osteoporosis is covered by health insurance only until the osteoporosis score reaches -2.

 

In the country, a value of around -2 is considered to be enough to prevent bones from breaking, and health insurance only applies up to this level.

One of the doctor's instructions is to be careful not to fall.

-If you go over 3, your bones will shatter into pieces the moment you fall.

In particular, he said not to fall in the bathroom and to be careful not to fall under any circumstances.

Still, how fortunate it is that they even provide health insurance.

In the case of injections for osteoporosis treatment, I get them once every six months, but they are not always available and I have to order them. So, a week after the first consultation, I received a text message saying that the osteoporosis treatment injections had arrived. I received the text message and went to get the injection.

 

They say that after getting injections for osteoporosis treatment twice a year, they take MRIs again to monitor the effectiveness of the osteoporosis treatment.

The treatment period for osteoporosis varies from person to person, but is said to be approximately 3 to 5 years.

The first injection I received for osteoporosis treatment was Prolia, which was injected into the inside of my forearm.

It hurt quite a bit

After getting the injection, I waited at the hospital for about 15 minutes to be observed for shock or other side effects.

They prohibited strenuous exercise and showering.

 

This is how the first treatment for osteoporosis began.

 

I was first diagnosed with osteoporosis and was prescribed a month's supply of medication on the spot.

At that time, taking the medicine was really difficult.

I remember that the osteoporosis treatment medicine was to be taken on an empty stomach in the morning and to stand for more than 30 minutes without lying down or sitting.

It's been so long that it's a bit hazy, though

Then I had to go back and get the medicine, but I kept putting it off and ended up not going, and somehow time passed.

If your condition is not good, I think it would be better to use an injection that is more effective in treating osteoporosis than medication.

I just hope there are no side effects from the clinical trial.

 

I regret that if I had been receiving treatment consistently from then on, I would have gotten better sooner.
