I'm staying tuned to this discussion because I'm in the same place. But my trusted rheumatologist seems to have let me down! He named medications and told ME to decide what I wanted to do!?!
I see that women consult with endocrinologists. That was not something I thought about doing. Maybe my rheumatologist is hoping I will see another specialty!

Ask him what his training is in osteoporosis and it's treatment.
jw9,
in defense of said trusted rheumatologist, I'd seen a number of endocrinologist's who offered me choices of different osteoporosis medications. I never saw one who made the decision. I'm not happy to hear of doctors who say you have to take this or that one. Your rheumatologist is showing you respect.

I would consult another doctor. An excellent suggestion that is often made here is to find one who specializes in bone disease. That is probably going to be an endocrinologist - but, as many here can attest to, not every endocrinologist is truly skilled in treating osteoporosis. It can be very frustrating!
