Hi , Both of my legs were bowed due to my advanced osteoarthritis which is one of the reasons I did not wait any longer to have my knee replacements done 5 months ago. Both of my legs are straight now. It sounds like the cause of my osteoporosis in my left femur ( or technically called osteopenia at T score -2.1 ) could be the result of the bowed legs.
Did you have a bone scan on your left femur where you have your erosion? Did they prescribe osteoporosis meds for that?

Yes to both questions. Dr prescribed nabumetone, over the counter rubs, gel, Salon Pas, lidocaine Patches. All provides some pain relief.
