What bone supplement are you taking?
Congratulations on your improved DEXA scan!!!
Because of the possible side effects of osteoporosis injections and drugs, since I am very sensitive to medications, pain killers, etc., I have chosen to not take Prolia that my PCP keeps pushing me to take. Instead, I have also chosen to take a natural approach. I am using Healthy Bones Co., Vitamin D3/K2-K4, and Native Path Bone Health powder. I follow a healthy diet, foods high in protein and calcium, eggs, yogurt, (sugar free Chobani Greek Yogurt), walking on a treadmill at the gym 2 to 3 miles, takes me 40 minutes , high incline mode, 6 days a week. Also stretching. It is not time for my next DEXA scan yet, but I can tell the curvature in my spine lessened. I recently retired, but am able to be very active. Healthy Bones is a reputable company, and they also have a supplement called Annatrol, which also is for building bones.
I'm doing the same -- doc is really pushing two drugs and only one of my markers is barely in the osteoperosis zone. Taking Calciven, drinking Core Power most days and adding calcium in diet. Orangetheory or 30 min walk every day. Really want to avoid the drugs.
May I ask your age?
I’m very happy you have positive results. Wish I did.
