I just watched a video by Margaret Martin @melioguide.com, an expert on exercise and PT for osteoporosis including fractures. @sunny 65
You should walk and sit as straight as you can and not do any exercises that involve bending. You should avoid bending in general, and twisting.
I have run into several PT's who are supposedly good with osteoporosis and gotten away from them as fast as I can.
I often wonder if they have been trained to prevent osteoporosis. Not treat it, and not with fractures. Those of us with fractures need really expert help or we will get hurt.

Thank you so much @windyshores . That’s what I am also finding out by reading various articles. I asked him this question on the second time. He said that only thing can fix me is this exercise and walking bending forward. I am seeing neurosurgeon tomorrow morning . I am sure that I am not the candidate for any back surgery. But I want to listen his opinion on the therapy and overall maybe he has advice how to deal with this awful pain. I’ve been prescribed pregabalin and been taking for over 2 weeks without any pain relief. It’s just makes me dizzy and forgetful.Thinking of quitting it shortly. I am so lost that no doctor can help me with the pain. My first Evenity shot is scheduled. I am nervous but I can’t imagine that it could be worse than what I am experiencing right now. I am so grateful to you for responding to my message. God bless you.
