mic1953 you might benefit from finding out more about your osteo, esp your T-scores, so you can make informed decisions about treatment. You might be fine without a Rx medication - most of us know lots of people in our age range 😱 who probably have osteoporosis and have not been diagnosed, and who manage fine as long as they don't fall. But you've crossed the line where you can use the excuse that you didn't know. You should look into the Pro's as much as the Con's. IMO. Good luck whichever way you go.
