Thanks @mayblin I currently see a rheumatologist. Do I try to switch to an endo at this point or have the rheumatologist appeal for me since they started the process. The only area I have osteopenia is the femoral neck, which I fractured 5 months ago. The spine and hip are osteoporosis. I fell by tripping over uneven sidewalk while walking in the park.

Your fall over an uneven sidewalk validates my decision not to walk the sidewalks of my lovely little Spring Green village which are less than even. I find it much safer altho much less scenic to talk around & around the utility core in my cottage in rural Wisonsin. The cats thought I had gone mad at first but have now gotten used to it & pretty much ignore me unless it's close to mealtime time!

It sounds like an osteoporotic fracture to me. And I totally agree with comments by @awfultruth. I'm not familiar with authorization though. There are lots of members here went through the process for sure.
You can use this link to calculate your frax risk yourself. The score could be used (especially if not good) for part of the appeal:

Best of luck!
