I'd probably defer to your doctor on when you can start doing exercises that will promote bone health. While I took Fosamax years ago and still have residual improvement from that medication, yoga, walking and taking vitamin D and calcium supplements(not sure if these really help) have maintained and improved my bone density scores. Good luck and hope your ankle heals quickly!

Thank you for your encouragement. I have an appointment with a physical therapist who specializes in osteoporosis, and I'm probably going to try HRT. It is all a bit overwhelming. It feels like starting with the broken ankle on January 1st, this year has only been pain, surgery, bad test results, and doctor visits.
