@lindamaegirl, yes. It is entirely your decision.
Though it is very difficult to regain lost bone, there are measures you can take to reduce the risk. You can take collagen type 11, quercetin, tea, calcium+k2, make sure your D levels are adequate. Some people take strontium citrate. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/strontium-1/
You might eliminate the activities that could incur the hard fall that fractured L2 and 4. Do measured careful exercise, avoid lifting, especially lifting and twisting because L1,3 and 5 sustain vulnerability from the year old fractures that alter the balance of the entire spine.
Increasing muscle protects the spine as well as creating crosstalk that increases vertebral strength. But you have to be careful because your muscles can be stronger than your bones. LIfting weights can create peak pressure that your bones cannot sustain.
Some with low bone density never fracture, but many with osteopenia do fracture.
I wish you every luck whichever decision you make.
It is a risk that I wouldn't take, but my fear of fracture is great.
Windyshores had the best results with Tymlos. She cleverly manipulated the pen so she had control over the dosage. Her doctor was (probably still is) Michael Mannstadt 617-726-8720.
I think he still does virtual visits.
If you did decide on a medication, I would rather it would not be Reclast, at least yet. It is better to start with an anabolic like Forteo. I'd recommend Forteo except that windyshores had a negative reaction to it. If you couldn't tolerate Tymlos, like Forteo, it leaves you system rapidly, so your reaction would be limited in time to 24 hours max.

@gently Dear Gently, thank you so much for your comment. You answered me instead Windyshores, I was delayed to ask her and suddenly she left this forum.

I want to put mine comment here but it is long, better to begin a new thread. Again what to do?

Thank you and best wishes in everything.
