Hesitant to begin drug treatment for my osteoporosis

What was your original DEXA scan at 50? You are at -3.2 now. Did you get worse or did you improve? What actions did you take between now and then? I was just diagnosed at 63 with a -3.2 spine. I am seeing an endocrinologist in July and I’m scared she will tell me that I need medication.

My scan got worse every 2 years. I just kept taking the weekly pill and would take a multi vitamin with calcium. I tried to eat and drink more with calcium also and walked about 5 miles a day. It just gradually got worse. My gyno is your prescribed the weekly pill for the 9 years. I started an endocrinologist and she said you shouldn't do the weekly pill for more than 3 years. I am doing evenity injections now. 2 down...10 to go. I haven't had to many side effects.
