Osteoporosis For Dummies

Just diagnosed with osteoprosis and wanted to learn more about it.

This book gives very clear, easy to understand information about Osteoporosis and everything that you need to know to prevent it or live with it with including foods, meds, and resources for help you may need. Very good for someone just diagnosed with it to prevent it from getting worse and causing fractures.

The reason to for this purchase is to educate my mother who is suffering from Osteopprpsis. She is please and most grateful for this book.

As expected

Has good information regarding osteoporosis, what may cause it, medications etc. other areas of focus should be on exercise and importance of body mechanics to prevent risk of compression fractures.

Good resource

Love it. Easy to understand.

This was a huge disappointment. This book is very old and I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know

Very informative book and easy to understand. It has useful tips on pain management,diet and lots of things you may not know. I was recently diagnosed and am finding it helpful to understand the facts about Osteoporosis and treatments you may be given.

Useful and informative although the edition I had was getting a bit out of date and I expect there have been new developments of late.

Having suffered from osteoporosis for a number of years now and having purchased several books in the past, I found them too technical and scientific. This is written in plain language, which is early to understand and contains lots of good tips. for example, if you are taking other medicines, it gives advice on the time that should be left between taking osteoporosis meds and others.I am still reading it at the moment,, but have enjoyed just dipping into it now and again.

The few chapters that applied to me were very informative.
