Support Groups - Coping With Fractures: Osteoporosis
Content provided by the Faculty of the Harvard Medical School
Support groups
Osteoporosis doesn't affect only your bones. It can leave you feeling depressed, anxious, or afraid. You may worry about breaking a bone or losing your independence. Or perhaps you're overwhelmed by pain or upset by changes in your appearance.
A support group may help you cope with these feelings and move ahead with your recovery. Talk to your doctor about finding a program, or check with your insurer, local hospital, or the National Osteoporosis Foundation (see "Resources").
