@riley which "pharmacotherapy" does that article refer to? And was this article clear on the T scores in the study? Does it mention efficacy in the spine? What is the date for that and does it predate better meds now available?

I remember reading something like that years ago and ideas like that probably contributed to reducing urgency for getting on meds (I did try) and to my ultimate fractures.

Here's a link to the article I quoted, from 2015.
The drugs mentioned are bisphosphonates, Denosumab (Prolia) and strontium ranelate. https://www.bmj.com/bmj/section-pdf/897225?path=/bmj/350/8010/Analysis.full.pdf
