Current medical training pushes the pharmaceuticals. It’s quick and easy because physicians are not afforded the time to dig deeper into what the core problem really is. Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease. More complex than Amgen wants you to believe. We are on our own here. Keep searching for a physician who will work with you and that you are comfortable making the decision of which meds if any that you will take. After eighteen months I finally found a specialty medical group that is helping me optimize my hormones first, since I could not tolerate the osteoporosis meds currently on market.
