hi sophie, hope by now your bone density is good with the correct medicine, food and exercise protocol.
I'v discovered I have severe osteoporosis [3.5] and trying to understand the best medicine to take for it.
can you please tell me which tests show bone reabsorption and bone building ..the doctors don't tell u anything mostly and i'm scared to start these complicated med. blindly. thanks

This is a good overview of the medications, and what you would take based on your T-score.

Hi @shail. DEXA and TBS are the imaging studies. Here's a good overview of the lab work:

My suggestion is that you do a search on this site for "new to osteoporosis" or the like as that will give you a broader view of osteoporosis treatment. What has your doctor suggested for you?

Best wishes to you moving forward!
