My mother ( age 63) is suffering from Osteoporosis. She has pain in her entire body but more in hip and spine area. The pain is so much that she finds it difficult to sleep in the night. Please suggest a good doctor in Bangalore where I can take her.
Hi,Osteoporosis pain can be relieved by giving systemic analgesics like Aceclofenac tablets.But it is not advisable for long term treatment.Long term benefit have been seen by using alendronates (a type of biphosphonates) by inhibiting osteoclasts thus reducing bone erosion.Bangalore has many tertiary orthopaedic centres like Sparsh and Hosmat which are know for good orthopaedic treatment.Regards,Dr.Riyanka
