Thank you, I am healing well and the pain is now minimal as long as I am careful with my posture. I tend to slouch and that is the worst thing for spine health and the healing process.
The specialist I saw after the the fall also recommended Evenity. He would not even discuss HRT and said he would have to send me to Endocrinology. I have a feeling that would be one more expensive appointment only to be told no. I a couple leads on providers for HRT so will keep everyone updated on progress.

@debbie1956 Following up with my progress. Great news, I found a provider willing to put me on HRT! I found her through the Menopause Society provider search. Unbelievably she is actually in my primary care clinic.
She started me on .25 Estradiol Patch 2x weekly and daily 100 mg micronized Progesterone this week and tested bone turnover markers.
Ctx: 705
P1np: 82
The plan is to retest Ctx in 3 months. I’m very hopeful that the combination of of lifestyle changes and HRT will lower the Ctx number.
I’m feeling very hopeful and fortunate to have a provider willing to partner with me on this journey.
