Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis

My T score went from 2.0 in 2022 to 2.7 in 2024 in my left hip. Spine results went from 1.0 in 2022 to 1.6 in 2024. I am trying to learn what all this means. It’s a process. I was told should I have a fall, I could fracture something. I am taking this seriously and doing everything I can to change things without taking Fosomax. The possible side effects are very concerning to me.

Other than looking at your T score, you could also look at your bmd value. On average, a healthy person loses 0.25% up to 1% of bone mass per year after bone maturation. For post menopausal women, this loss would accelerate to 1.8% to 2.3% in the spine and 1 - 1.4% in the hip due to the loss of estrogen. You could use this benchmark to compare your annualized rate of bone loss and to see if you had unforeseen faster bone loss.
