Are there any ways to stay active without fear of breaking some part of my body? I try to be careful as always but the fear always lingers at the back of my mind.

I have been taking medication for the last 3 years. I am currently taking Boniva. I am also supplementing with calcium (1,500 mg), Vitamin D (2,000 IU), Magnesium (1000 mg), boron (5 mg) and collagen.

I feel marginally better in the last 2 years, but i feel I have neglected the fitness of my body in return.

Any tips?

Hello @brittlemess

How are you feeling today? :)

Thank you for opening this discussion. That is a valid concern and I completely understand your fears. Fitness is important but not if it comes at the cost of your body, so look at options that do not put too much pressure on your body while simultaneously providing you the exercise you need like Yoga or Tai Chi.
