Dealing with osteoporosis and osteopenia?

Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more likely to break. Fractures can lead to persistent muscle and joint pain, postural changes, reduced balance and confidence leading to increased risk of falling, breathing problems, loss of independence and increased risk of death.
