@mahonlye People with healthy bones also fracture them. Look at all those healthy athletes who break bones.
Breaking a bone after being on bone meds is no proof they don’t work. Perhaps the break is less extensive than it would have been.

@mahonlye It truly is a dilemma, as the doctors generally put their faith in the meds, which do help some people…but the side effects can be quite costly, given that many people have other health issues and really cannot tolerate more strong meds…and docs often overdose…the same doses for people of all sizes !? Reliable advice on supplements would really be welcome !
