Anyone progress from osteoporosis to osteopenia?

Thank you for the inspiration! Im 74 and trying to stay off drugs. My spine is good but hip femoral neck went from -2.3 to -2.9 in 3 years after pelvic radiation for endometrial cancer. I saw a PT and have ramped up weight bearing exercise, cardio, and yoga (4x week) while being mindful of other lifestyle factors. I’ve always had a good lifestyle, but the new numbers called for extra work. My endo is only interested in drugs and wouldn’t offer any additional testing like CTX. I’ve looked for people who’ve improved BMD naturally. Glad to have read your post. Keep up the good work!

Hi charlotte26,
No one was more surprised than I at the surprisng great results! Which just goes to show there is always hope.
Right now my functional gynecologist wants me to reduce my supplements, as she feels I am now in “maintenance mode”—no longer any need to be so strict or over zealous in the supplement department!
What helped me most was researching all I could online, and trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. This forum for one has been immensely helpful. Be wary of hucksters and question the motives of anyone promoting a quick fix or an expensive solution. And be methodical.
Wishing you good luck and good bone health in the New Year! 🎉
