You appear to be well-informed and do research to support that information. You are only 68 years old and fall frequently....something that you say has happened all your life. You are right to be concerned with this, having osteoporosis.
I hope you have considered and undertaken any of the many exercises that will help with balance. Tai Chi is also well known to improve balance.
Although some osteo related fractures are unrelated to falls, improving one's balance is something almost everyone can and should do....especially those of us battling osteoporosis.

@rjd thank you for your nice message! Interesting the falls all my life had an upside! I developed scar tissue on my knees so it is one joint which will never be replaced! I am just "clutzy." I took ballet lessons for years. I have done yoga and tai chi. I am just not careful with my body. Yes, I know some people suffer with compression fractures. There is a possibility I suffered one when they replaced my hip and the hardware was pressed too hard into my femur. My cervical spine surgery had C5 fall apart in their hands! (good news was they ground up my own bone to fill the cage with. Bad news was I needed a more extensive 2nd surgery from my back side!). Ah life. Live and learn. I don't really HAVE osteoporosis per say... I have bones which have osteoporosis and other bones osteopenia and others yet normal! Bones in your body aren't all the same density! I ask my doctors a million questions. Which is good because they no longer have the time to give me all the information I feel they should. Good luck! Stay strong!
