So true! I have been on Fosamax since I was 52. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 50. I have never broke a bone. I just requested a scan because I was short and had early hysterectomy. Now I am 61 and they say since my spine is -3.2 I need to do one of these injections. I wish I could be little older before I had to start something but I don't want to break something either. The decision is so hard!

What was your original DEXA scan at 50? You are at -3.2 now. Did you get worse or did you improve? What actions did you take between now and then? I was just diagnosed at 63 with a -3.2 spine. I am seeing an endocrinologist in July and I’m scared she will tell me that I need medication.
