If you have been diagnosed then surely u have been given treatment option.

I'm not a doctor, it's important to say.

However, I too was diagnosed with osteoporis and the treatment is Fossamax with calcium suppliments

I also think exercise is important to build bone density esp weights but you should ask you doctor about this. If your doctor is not discussing treatment options and self measures change doctor.
