My comment was made about my conversation with my doctor. And I realize that unfortunately, my situation is very serious and not typical. (I certainly hope I am an outlier!).
But I think that it was pretty safe to safe that he KNOWS I will fracture without medical intervention.
I broke my femur in 5 pieces while bending over to pet my shepherd (not a small dog). Three months later I broke my rib while sleeping. Three months later I fractured a vertebra, standing still when I coughed.
As far as I can tell, the only way to stop a fracture is to get my 70 year old bones stronger as soon as possible.

My sincere apology for the misunderstanding. I took your comment in a global sense and not as it referred to your situation. Unfortunately, there are all too many people who play on our fears. Instead of a rational analysis of that is right for each of us, they resort to fear mongering.
Very true, having fractured puts you in a very serious position and it would be negligible for your Dr to have come to any other conclusion. We are all individuals with individual needs. Thank you for sharing your story🧡.

@juanitalinda my last reply was in response to windyshore's comments on this conversation, actually. In light of the context and history you subsequently shared, I'm not disputing your doctor's certainty that another fracture is a given without meds. But they may happen anyway even with them. And no one can dispute that. I most certainly hope you don't fracture and wish you the very best on your course of meds. I"m sorry if I offended you . I'm bowing out now.
