I’ve been on alondronate 35 mg for three years, started weight lifting with a trainer a year ago. My spine is now at t score of zero. Very exciting. I attribute that more to the weight lifting than the medication. Just my guess. The endocrinologist said the weight lifting impacts the spine more than the hips. I do some pretty heavy lifting, at least I think it’s heavy 😂. Leg press up to 140 pounds! I turned 72 in October, and have always been active, and a runner until this last June.

The hips no improvement. They are both about at -2.5, I think. So will start Evenity soon, which is a bone builder. My sister did Evenity four years ago - no side effects at all, or with the reclast. My doc said none of his patients have had any side effects on Evenity. Hope that’s true for me.

Reading all the posts it’s interesting how different we all are, what works for some and not others.
