Thanks for replying! How you get the compression fracture matters, acc to my neurologist. (My PCP has different ideas on the matter! ) If the CF is from a bad fall & someone younger in the same circumstance would also sustain a compression fracture, then it doesn't bump you into the clinical osteoporosis category. I'm in a grey category & sticking to supplements for now. Vit D3, K2, Calcium.

Are you now taking any OP meds?

You make a good point. The circumstances surrounding the fracture can make a big difference in the diagnosis.
I take alendronate 70 mg in addition to multiple vitamins with D3 and Calcium.
