@yogagirl57,

You posed a great question with forward thinking about hip replacements and surgery overall while on osteoporosis medications. Have you had a chance to see @susanfalcon52's experience?

@susanfalcon52 - at the time of your surgery, did your surgeon discuss your osteoporosis with you and any potential complications or elevated risks because of your osteoporosis? How was your recovery?

@redlo, it sounds like you had an entirely different experience where they opted to not do major surgery because of your osteoporosis. Was this because they thought a less invasive surgery such as your laminectomy would potentially relieve the symptoms? It sounds like it was a positive outcome in the end.
