Like you, I thought I was doing all the right things, I lead a very active lifestyle and I eat well. It never occurred to me about the loss of estrogen causing me to have very early osteoporosis. Then I had a fall and crushed my whole right side. So much pain. I am concerned about new fractures. I like you I read the study, about dying after a fracture, it is concerning and so are side effects but a doctor you trust can help you through all of this. I also plan to ask my doctor about the side effects and the mounting evidence for rebound bone loss. Because I really have to err to the side of no more fractures. I am 54 and healed but I can remember all of that pain.
