I'm 63 years old, very active, and have never broken a bone. My alkaline phosphate level is 42, and I've been diagnosed with Hypophosphatasia (HPP) after a genetic test. What should I know about managing this condition?
I have a question about this episode Episode 375: Kathi Black and this Rare Disease Insights. I've been diagnosed with osteopenia in much of my body and osteoarthritis in my left forearm. I'm an active 71, but not the rocking chair grandma. Due to injuries from an accident 2 years ago, along with osteoarthritis in my right knee, I'm now bionic with 2 knee replacements and a left shoulder replacement. What can I do to strengthen myself? I know Vitamin D and magnesium levels are "low," and I take them daily. I'm currently in a challenging recovery mode as my first knee replacement failed after a year, leading to a revisional replacement. Can you help me figure this out? I've done a DNA test, but not medically. Thank you! Deborah PS: You were referred to me via my Trainer.
