Spine Doctor and hip doctors opinion .. scared to start taking them

Diana: My mother had osteoporosis and would break bones just turning around on a barstool. I am taller and slim built like my mom, but my sister is built like my dad, more stocky. We both have osteoporosis. A rheumatologist I saw said the disease has a definite genetic component. I wonder what blood work your endocrinologist is doing that would further look into a cause.

Hi ! the endocrinologist did a EPG serum PHT Intact Blood Phosphorus , Vitamin D, 25-0H total C-telopeptide Serum , 24 Hour Urine Creatinine, 24 Hour Urine Calcium . She wanted to rule out any other possibility for my bone loss. All test results came out ok, so I went with one doctor and he wanted to give me Tymlos or Forteo , And I am waiting for a second opinion , I asked if I can try one year without meds, and then have a dexa , his answer was that I can do it but at my own risk and that his recommendation may not change in a year of me trying the natural approach . Thank you !
