Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I am terrified

@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.

@drterri
Might want to compare what your 'good diet' and 'regular exercise' looks like when compared to a targeted diet and targeted physio often discussed in connection with osteoporosis. For me, it was surprisingly different. I learned to like prunes.

@drterri thanks for the info, my GP called me to schedule an appointment to discuss but I have asked them to refer me to an endocrinologist as I’ve had the right half of my thyroid removed (50% chance the small module I had there was cancer, it was not thankfully but my last blood work showed elevated TSH levels) figured it would be best to address both issues at the same time, so I’m hoping to get a referral.
