Do pain management shots damage a person with osteoporesis?

Answer 1

According to my researvh, most shots are damagimg.
Osteoporosis can be caused by excess protein. Try cutting down on protein foods, and see if that helps.

The Result of Excess Protein in the Human Diet
The average diet in the United States, culturally encouraged by the media who is lobbied and paid by the meat and dairy industries, contains severely high levels of protein, and there are corresponding medical conditions that arise as a result of this “normal” American diet. Since quantities of protein above the 2-8% required has to be processed by the kidneys, it puts additional and unnecessary stress on the body. Along with the process of calcium crystal formation, the kidney also undergoes a gradual process of degeneration, hypertrophy and inflammation. [8] Medical researchers no longer deny the association between excess protein consumption and osteoporosis. In a report published in the British journal Lancet, Dr. Aaron Watchman and Daniel Bernstein made significant commentary on work sponsored by the United States Department of Health, as well as work done by Harvard University, which called the association of meat based diets with the increasing incidence of osteroporosis “inescapable.”

In fact, the most imporant co-factor of osteroporosis is excess dietary protein. The correspondence between excess protein intake and bone reabsorption is direct and consistent. Even with very high calcium intake, the more protein in the diet the greater the incidence of negative calcium balance. In other words, the more protein in our diet, the more calcium we actually lose, regardless of how much calcium we take in. The result is that high-protein diets in general, and diets based on meat and dairy products in particular, lead to a gradual but definite decrease in bone density and assist the development of osteoporosis.

The general correlation between the development of osteroporosis and protein intake has also been observed elsewhere on the planet. Statistics tend to show that osteoporosis is most common in those countries where dairy products are consumed in large quantities. This tendency is present in the United States, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Answer 2

If they are injecting a joint with a steroidal-numbing mixture (like Lidicaine) 3 shots are the max...more than that will destroy the cartilage in the joint.

If you already have osteoporosis, I wouldn't think they would consider joint injections. They would pick another option for you.

Answer 3

Depends what drug the shots contain, a medication name would help. Add it if possible....

Answer 4

if its facet joint injections youre talking about, in the long term they will damage the joints.
