If Reclast can reduce the capacity of the jaw bone to heal, how can we reasonably expect it to heal our bones from osteoporosis? Is it possible it only makes DEXA look better?

@sallyj2 Reclast doesn't "heal" osteoporosis, in the sense of healing a fracture or jaw necrosis. It affects bone turnover. So yes, over time, if taken too long, bone is not good quality. Some of us only use it to lock in gains from bone-builders but unfortunately bisphosphonates are often prescribed first.
