Has anyone treated their osteoporosis without drugs?

Hello, I'm 61 and just found out in July 18th 2025 that I have OP. T score is -3.1 Doctor wants me to take IV of Reclast once a year for two years. Everything I study is showing me this is scary. I'm trying to exercise and change diet and taking supplements. I'm supposed to start Reclast Oct.1 and I'm worried it might be something I should hold off on. I'm having issues with my knees, I have new pain just the last couple days which is concerning to walk. I work full time. Has anyone had experience with Reclast? Please share

@veve1964 it is kind of scary, but most people don't have the reactions you've been reading about. The trouble is that you won't know until you try it. At -3.1 I'd want to take something for fear of fracturing. I decided on Forteo and haven't had any negative effects. If you decided on Reclast, you could ask for a lower dose than the 5mg and a slower diluted injection over an hour.
The slower infusion gives the kidneys a better chance to process the medication. Most people have extra aches in their joints due to inflammation. Some just don't.
Given that tomorrow is Oct 1 and that you feel unsettled, you might reschedule. On the other hand if you don't have a negative reaction, you'll be glad you went ahead with the infusion.
I don't have experience with Reclast. I hope you have luck!
