Just a little piece of info I read--prunes are supposed to be one of the best

bone hardening foods. I don't remember why exactly, but I figure, why not? It's

good for constipation that goes with pain meds, and it's got other great

benefits. Bone hardening I hadn't figured on. But you might want to check it

out.

I'm glad this subject has been brought up. Do any of you out there

have osteoporosis that have had fusion? I can't take calcium but I

get plenty of yogurt and cheese to eat. I've really thought about so

many times what happens with all the metal if you get osteoporosis. I

getted scared sometimes thinking about it but I try and put it away

especially now that I don't have insurance for now. Thanks, Dereise.
