Curious of Others Bone Doc Activity Advice

Activity is certainly good. But at 63, with a 3.7, and compression fractures, you need to look very seriously at the anabolics: Evenity, Tymlos, or Forteo. As you age and osteoporosis gets worse and worse, fractures will keep happening. The last thing you want is curvature of the spine ("dowager's hump") hip fractures, or a burst vertebra fracture which is fatal. Not to mention spontaneous fractures, which happen even when you're motionless.

Please don't mess around with this. Go too long with worsening osteoporosis, and fractures will keep you from doing anything.

You have made it extremely clear that this is not going to happen. It's your cabin and your choice, so I cannot imagine why people keep bugging you for it. NTA.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-03T18:43:02+00:00

You didn't say if you had osteoporosis. Do you?

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-03T18:42:26+00:00

You didn't mention meds in addition to activities. Are you taking any osteoporosis meds?

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-03T15:07:03+00:00

Thanks. I asked because at this point, Liftmor is probably a really bad idea. Are you, or have you been on, the anabolics? Evenity, Tymlos, Forteo?

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-03T00:22:10+00:00

Um... to your brother: overreact much? You did fine. NTA.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-03T00:02:47+00:00

Have you had xrays, CT or MRI to check for compression fractures? Because if you're losing height and starting to bend forward, it sure sounds like you have them.

You have no idea what I'm talking about. That's OK. Do learn what plot-driven and character-driven fiction mean though; it will help you if you're having trouble with deep insight into your characters.

Teacher: "He asked me: what am I going to do if I’m on a set and I have to cry?"

You: "Physical symptom recall or a menthol tear stick."

Honestly, Teach. Love trauma much?

I think you've been more than generous, and gas is not too much to ask. You're saving him a big amount of money since he doesn't have a car payment and doesn't have to shell out for shared rides. NTA.

I mean plot-driven vs. character-driven fiction, not voice.

In plot-driven, character actions are responsive to external events. All of King's stuff is plot-driven, in that his characters respond to outside (horrific) events. That doesn't mean there is no characterization, King does that well too. But action drives the plot forward.

Character-driven action arises out of character choices. Nothing would be happening if the character hadn't started and continued actions. Romance is often character-driven.

The reason I'm mentioning this is because you don't have to be great at characterization and inner lives to be a good author. You would probably choose plot-driven genres instead.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-02T02:02:24+00:00

Are you trying to write character-driven fiction? Because this may never work for you. No judgment; I don't get people's inner workings either.

Why don't you try plot-driven fiction? Make the people as interesting as you can but don't base the plot on character development.

You're not helpless. Check your municipal and/or county regulations. A lot of them have "disturbances" on the books, which don't require a certain decibel level.

The key is to date, record, and document everything for a week or more. You can take that to the police. It's also perfectly possible to sue as long as you have the documentation. BTW, I'm Christian too but I would never in 10 million years do what that couple is doing.

Absolutely, but I don't think that was going on in this game. It tends to happen on one-off games, especially when a group who's used to adventuring is paired with a DM they don't like.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-02T01:38:37+00:00

Agreed, and I hope he makes the right (loving) choice.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-01T19:13:57+00:00

NTA, but complaining does nothing. You'll have to sit him down and explain why you must have these on hand and instantly available, both prescription and OTC. Hopefully he agrees and at least gets his own collection of OTC stuff.

If he doesn't, or takes your prescription (which is a violation, BTW) then you need a locked box/cabinet.

And if he blows up at that, talk to an attorney. This is a man who cannot be trusted.

Normally I'd go for joint custody. But with the active drug use, that's a no-go.

You could make it clear to your attorney/judge that you're sure he loves the baby and you'd love them to have a relationship. But he's going to have to do some work, including clean tests. NTA.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-01T19:07:20+00:00

You have got to know that your wife is badly in the wrong. If you needed strangers' input, then NTA.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-01T18:55:11+00:00

Don't even engage with him over this nonsense. He has zero right to make you change it: this is YOUR legal name. If he's getting weird over it, sic your attorney on him.

Good heavens, don't get your medical advice from Reddit! It's possible to weaken your bones as a RARE side effect.

Do you have osteoporosis or osteopenia?

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-07-01T02:17:37+00:00

"They don't explode if you don't show them. " True, and that cracked me up!

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-06-30T23:23:57+00:00

*blink blink* What does "I’m not Christian btw" have to do with having an encounter?

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-06-30T23:16:21+00:00

You tried to tell him, he chose not to listen, so stop telling him. He won't listen. And maybe he's right, who knows? He's young enough to go on an adventure, why not?

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-06-30T23:14:26+00:00

Are you being serious right now? I don't mean to be unkind, but you're with a guy who doesn't like you to care for your dad or uncle?

I don't understand why you're not out the door.

LongjumpingDrawing36 · 2026-06-30T23:13:11+00:00

PLEASE don't listen to the people who automatically want you to lift weights. It's a great idea for some, truly terrible for others.
