@wews Thank you for sharing your journey. It seems with our individual issues it is best to gather as much info as possible. Once I told my provider I wouldn’t take Prolia it was the end of the conversation. I found a Physical Therapist who in the past was certified in strength training so I want to see if my MD will order PT so I can tackle to Liftmor weight exercises. I have appt in Oct. It terrifies as I am so out of shape as I have been a caretaker to my Dad for past 4 years but he recently had to go into Long Term Care. Thx 🤗

@detta I think bones don’t strengthen or weaken overnight. I believe from all my research and talking with my providers that you can make a difference when you focus on diet and exercise and supplements. See if you can get a rems scan which tests bone strength too. Progressive weight loading, balance, posture and supplements all help. Stay strong. I have the added letrozole component but even breast surgeon said to hold off on drugs. First you have to rebuilt bone and then you preserve it. Look at Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation website and sign up for free webinars - I have found them all very educational. Many speak about pharmaceuticals but they have some coming up about calcium and diet. Lifting weights is key and you can do it! Start light and work up! It is fun! And you will get in better shape over time. Don’t be scared. One step at a time.
