Hi
Thanks for posting your query
After going through your suffering , weakness of bone (osteopenia)for which calcium tablet alone may not work. To assess weakness it may be confirmed by Bone mineral density (BMD) by dexa scan along with X ray of spine.Get blood test done for serum calcium,vitamin D and vitamin B12 level.
For Osteopenia,my suggestion is once a month tablet of alendronate/once a week tablet of osteophos.
You may discuss with your treating doctor and decide what is best for you. Once the pain is reduced you may start exercises to strengthen the back that is back strengthening exercises.
Take balanced diet rich in calcium (1000mg/day) and vitamin D (1000 i.u. /day) along with vitaminB12, B6.To have maximum benefit from above medicine,physical exercise is must
Hope this information suffices.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
