Yes, I will either do SC or Tymlos, but just cannot commit to either yet. Right after my previous DEXA, with the -3.2 lumbar score, I sought out a physical therapist because I wanted to make sure I was moving properly and to work on posture and balance, and I had some consistent back soreness, not pain, and was terrified of fracture. She helped me get past all of that fear, and reassured me that I was in good shape. Medicare covered every visit with the therapist, and I saw her twice weekly for about three months. It’s all in the way their business office codes it, I guess. Then I found a smart personal trainer who didn’t have a lot of experience with osteoporosis, but did work with older clients with health problems. By then, I had done my homework about how NOT to move, and together we worked out a plan. He LISTENS and also does his homework, so it’s been tremendously helpful for my strength and my confidence. I work with him once a week….it’s not cheap…and follow up on my own at home two or three more times a week. This is the best thing I ever did for my bones and my overall health.

We are twins in some ways. 🙂 You are a bit ahead of me. I'll call about PT and hope to find a trainer as you have found.
