How bad is a spine T-score of -4 ?

@shail Did you start the Prolia yet?
Once you've familiarized yourself with the medications and their classifications (very basically they either build bone or retain bone) then you can find out what the suggested sequence would be after each one. I'm trying to keep it really simple as I know there's so much information and it can feel overwhelming. Kudos to you for being proactive!

thankfully I haven't as yet. I've been fortunate to have come upon this wonderful community in my search. I was relying upon chatgpt but have realised it's not enough at all, and yet I gathered more answers on it than the doctor!
The importance of getting the bone markers before the medication is so important as well as doing it 3 monthly to track it's progress and deciding on the next treatment based on blood tests as well as dexa [not only dexa!]
what I learnt from chatgpt is that prolia builds while zoledronic acid preserves so that gains are not lost and prevents the rebound.
yet I was under the impression that once started I 'll be on it for life which was daunting. Dr. keith mc cormick gave hope that it's possible to get off while keeping track so that one can restart it if required. tho I have yet to understand it better 🙂
thankyou for the guidance & encouragement, a big hug
