May I ask how old you are? I'm 59 and had significant deterioration from my last scan. Am at -3 for femoral neck, -2.5 hip, and -2.7 L1-L4. Am healthy, exercise 3-5 times a week, lift weights, eat well. Am being referred to an endocrinologist, but can't get in until May. Trying to learn and understand. Feeling kinda bummed and confused on what I do until then.

Was first diagnosed when I was 40 and changed diet and got to osteopenia range. Then this surprise. Am on HRT. I declined taking boniva at the time because I didn't want to be on a med that didn't have trials for long periods of time.

Had couple of fractures when kid, but nothing since.

Open to all guidance any of you have on how to navigate and sort through all the info.
