Agree with @gently! Best not to start on bisphosphenates in your circumstances, the meds can def leave you worse off, perhaps greater bone density but not necessarily bone quality, whereas the anabolic types help w the quality. Sounds like you have the kind of cautious thoughtful doctor we are all searching for! Have you checked out to see if there is an Osteostrong location near you? They (and other sources) can help you avoid falling or fall “better” if you do go down. Prayers for you!

Thank you! There is an Osteostrong near me and I've already called them. I'm open to doing whatever will keep me off OP meds, or at least delay them. My fall was due to my running to the bathroom (food poisoning) and slipping on a wet, marble floor. I went down so fast, there was no time to break the fall. Once down, I couldn't move & could barely breathe from the pain. I never want to experience that again.
I'm in Physical Therapy now, which has helped tremendously. My PT told me that he expects my complete recovery & return to the tennis court! Holding him to it!
Appreciate your good wishes & prayers 🙂
