Menopause Osteoporosis

My mum has osteoporosis and takes calcium tablets. Is there anything she can do to relieve the symptoms?

She is 45 years old and experiencing the menopause as well.

Osteoporosis per se does not produce any symptoms, until a fracture occurs. Calcium does not treat osteoporosis, but it is important to have a good calcium intake ( which few people do) if you do suffer from the condition. Bisphosphonates are useually given to all patients with a proven diagnosis of osteoporosis, but the still need the calcium.
