This is how I have managed with treatment over 8 years. First year very difficult as I wasn’t diagnosed with osteoporosis for 6 months. The pain just unbearable on co-codamol & morphine which didn’t help the pain.
Prescription Alendronate acid tablets for two months, no side effects. Appointment with private consultant who immediately put me on Denosumab injections every 6 months; no side effects, told it would be a slow recovery. On this medication for 5 years, changed consultant who took me off Denosumab as it was beginning to react with my omune system, 3 months with whopping cough and collapsed lung. Put on Alendronate Acid until I recovered. Now on Zoleronate acid infusion for the last 2 years, due next one this June 2026, no side effects at present. The last 2 years I am much better coping with everyday life, making sure I don’t overdo things. Great I can walk, slowly but able, prepare & cook meals, household chores & gardening which has been my salvation; also meeting up with club members, making tea & coffee& cake. All this has greatly helped me in recovery; not fully but able to enjoy life so please don’t give up when you at your lowest, it is hard work but you can get through it. Just make changes to your lifestyle, comfort & clothes.
Best wishes & be positive to help you through the bad times.
