Osteoarthritis and falls https://www.carenity.co.uk/forum/osteoarthritis/symptoms-and-complications-of-osteoarthritis/osteoarthritis-and-falls-2353Thank you. I have Osteoporosis in both my Hips and my GP has prescribed, Adcal-D3 Vitamin "D" Capsules 750 mg, to take 2, twice a day. Also " a Weekly Tablet named, Alendronic Acid 70mg. I have had Osteoporosis for a number of years, but now it's just getting worse, pain wise. My GP told me that after seeing my latest EX Ray results. "If I fall, my left Hip will SNAP" I am 76 yrs of age & Female.
