@lanig yes, my GP referred me to an endocrinologist, who got me scheduled for Evenity injections. I just went along with what she said because I didn't know what else to do. I have since learned that many people say you can build your bones back up with good diet and exercise, but I really don't think that's true in my case. I have had a good diet and been a regular exerciser for many, many years. If it didn't work for me up to this point, I don't think it's going to work for me now. Think if I am going to improve my bone density, it's going to have to be through medication.

@lanig PCPs usually refer OP patients to endocrinologists… my PCP felt my case not too bad and that I could hold off on the strong meds,given other recent health issues…so I have an experienced OP-PT and do what walking and exercises that I can…take carefully researched supplements with calcium, D3, and K2– and adapted my diet moderately…each of us is different—some people have many problems/meds and others are quite active…one thing is important- be careful how you move to avoid fractures-maybe do less multitasking… balance training can be a big help !
