STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

No change for my spine, but hips improvement were 3.3 and 7.2%. My spine is borderline at my age (70) for osteoporosis, but other TBS scores are 1.3 to 2.3. I lift weights partly to build muscles to support my spine and other bones (so far I haven't shrunk). Reclast infusions work for more than a year https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3427916/ .

Actually my spine is -1.1, so barely in osteopenia. Normal for a post-menopausal women is a T score of -1 and less. Osteopenia (oops, almost typed osteopenis, which sounds quite painful) T score is -1 to -2.5.

Thank you for your reply and info! Your improvements in hip areas are very nice!
“but other TBS scores are 1.3-2.3”: do you mean T scores (in negative) for other areas? TBS (trabecular bone score) score is calculated by an add-on software to the Dexa machine for a rough evaluation of microarchetecture of the bones. The scores run between 1.2-1.4 for most people with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
