@psanchez33617 This essay is definitely eye-opening and it will be very interesting to hear opinions from others here on Connect about it.
However, statements like 'bone drugs are not beneficial' is possibly as over-generalized as what this article complains about with respect to current treatment practice. It seems to me it is all much more nuanced than what our present health care practices allow or demand.

@psanchez33617 Thank you for sharing this article. This is exactly why I decided not to take Bisphosphonates although my osteoporosis has been described to me as "severe". They may make your bones appear stronger on a DEXA scan, but their actual benefit in preventing fractures is minimal and not worth the possible side effects for me. For medical reasons, I can't take Forteo or Tymlos. Evenity is too new for me and must be followed by a bisphosphonate to keep gains. For now I am being careful to keep my muscles strong, avoid dangerous movements and do all I can to avoid falls.
