If this is simple osteoporosis then edonax will do. If history of fractures then some better medicine would be required.

No there are no fractures, this also stated in the X ray report.
Thus, we are confused if this injection would be helpful in the treatment of Osteoarthritis with no side effects.
P.S: I don't live in Pakistan and that's why concerned for my mother and need good advice.
Thank you.

This injection is only useful for osteoporosis, NOT Osteoarthritis. For Osteoarthritis simple analgesics, weight loss if she can manage, and gentle physiotherapy and excersizes. Muscle strengthening excersizes aswell.

Ok great!
She is not over weight, infact she is under weight. So what would you suggest she should get this injection? As she also has Osteoporosis, and the medicines which are prescribed on the prescription are for Osteoarthritis?
I am confused between both now, this injection is for osteoporosis, so the medicines mentioned are for osteoarthritis?
It's in the starting stage, some people confused her that is this increases than you need to get it operated.
