Osteoporosis quite severe if I started hrt now will it help . I am 74

I wish i could find a doctor who would prescribe bhrt. I'm 66 and have severe osteoporosis, esp in lumbar and hip neck., t score-3.3 & -2.5. Dr started me on eventity because I need to build bone, only had one set last month, it was not a good experience. She said to try it for 6 months, not sure if I can do that. All of these osteo meds have bad side effects, esp jaw decay and femur fractures and some cause strokes . I am petrified of continuing eventity. Also, once your on eventity for 12 months and then stop, you have to go on another med for life such as prolia or relcast which are dangerous. I hope you do well on hrt, amd wish you the best.

I've taken fosomax, forteo, evenity and now Prolia. I have not had noticeable side effects. Excellent outcome with evenity. Yes, we are all different and some do have side effects that lead them to different approaches to tackling osteoporosis. However, I think that we may be conjuring more fear of trying these potentially life saving drugs than necessary. It is useful to be cautious and do our own research, seek out providers who understand osteoporosis, the drugs available and their proper sequencing.

I was told mine was severe too but I won’t take the osteoporosis meds. Keep searching for a GYN or other Dr that will prescribe the BHRT if you want to try that route. It took years to get osteoporosis and it won’t be cured or build new bones overnight. The doctors are told what meds you prescribe without even doing tests to show why you’re loosing bone density. There are many reasons.
