My hip has very mild osteopenia, and it has gotten a little better on medication. It's never been an issue - just my spine. My doctor isn't concerned at all about my hip. Also, I run and do hip exercises, so that helps.

You'd have to determine with your doctor the best course of action. Unfortunately there are never any simple answers with osteoporosis.

Same with me, my spine is worse than my hips.
Have you had any problems with your forearms while on the drug? I can't afford loss of bone in my forearms.

What exercises do you do for your hip?
I do a lot of squats. Bridges with some weights on my stomach .
My femoral Neck is my lowest bone density of -2.2
