I was just diagnosed with severe osteoporosis at 56. I had an L3 compression fracture this summer and got a dexa scan. My back is -4.1 and my hips are -3.9. I also have always eaten right, exercised, but after my husband died I was probably underweight. I also went on antidepressants at that time which also depletes your bones. I still wasn't expecting such bad scores. I don't see and endocrinologist until January 6, but I'm really hoping to get on something that builds bone rather than just preserves it. I'm pretty scared now that winter has started so I bought ice cleats!
