Now that I'm 70-1/2, old age is beginning to rear its ugly head.
I did something to my back 2 weeks ago while working at the food pantry at my church. Went to the dr the next day and got a shot in the lower back and 10 day supply of muscle relaxers. No help! Went for lower back X-rays earlier this week. Seems I am in the beginning stages of osteopenia. I'm having a bone density scan next week to see just how bad it is. Also starting physical therapy next week.
My primary care doc says I need to take calcium for the osteopenia. So I did some research on calcium types and have decided to go with this. Hope it helps the osteopenia.

My heart doc says not to take calcium supplements as it could end up in my arteries. I got an A+ on my stress test last month so I'm not worried about the calcium ending up in my arteries.

The good thing is when I'm riding I don't have back pain. It occurs mainly when I do a lot of standing and walking.
