Hi,

Thanks for contacting I had understood your concern and I will suggest you that madam should do some active exercises, like walking, staircase climbing, breathing exercises, light weight resistance exercises along with closed chain exercises (as these exercises will help in positive calcium intake in the bones) and have madam serum calcium, VIT d and VIT b12 levels checked before starting any medication. And for correct medication and dosage contact your nearby orthopedician/ physician.

Hope you will find the answer useful. I will be happy to help if you have further queries.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
