I had a ton of blood tests (5 vials worth) and 24 hour urine test to eliminate most causes.

My mother and grandmother also suffered from many fractures and height loss, so I figure there is a strong genetic component.
The only insight the dr shared was that the bone density was good, but the structure itself was not strong.
