@jimmy05 I understand how you feel; I felt the same way when it looked like I needed to go on drugs. It was devastating to me as I had never even taken any kind of regular prescription meds. I had always done weight bearing exercise. But I came to look at osteoporosis as a natural part of aging for some women (DNA, hereditary, diet, etc). There are many reasons and you may not be able to actually pinpoint why. If you had a compression fx I would think it is important to do something. Try to start thinking of it as a part of life you are going through and it could also be much worse (many people have chronic conditions they have to deal with). I ended up taking Evenity; I have 3 more injections. I had no problems with it. Not sure what will happen next; I feel it will be based on the results I get after Evenity on the DEXA. But I have gradually make my peace with this condition.
