Younger than usual with severe osteoporosis

Our standard medical system is so broken when it comes to bone health! The fact that you had fractures and no immediate DXA is the first problem.
Are you in HRT and testosterone? Have you had CTX and P1NP tested to corroborate DXA scores? Can you get to an OsteoStrong clinic that does REMS scans?
Look into Dr. Nick Birch, Dr. Doug of OsteoCollective (YouTube good start for both) and Igir Klibanov’s book Osteoporosis Reversal Secrets. Whether you choose to do meds or not, these resources can give you solid background on the power you have to make a difference.
I would not trust DXA alone for meds pathway.

Thank you, I zmbnot sure of the acronyms, I have had a bone density and CT scan, with blood work. I am on a Testosterone gel twice a day. I did reply with a result of 120 nmol/ L that is low for a 62 year old man. I will have to research the test you referred to.
I live in Canada and in the past 8 years the health care has dropped a lot. Yes I believe not telling me I had multiple rib fractures and telling me to go home and relax was very poor health care.
We have a system that allows us to see all medical records and reports to share. Unfortunately at the time I was in severe pain. After reading up on my condition I should have been put in intensive care, with the testing done. I actually think I should of been put in a coma to stop the nerves from reacting.
Thank you once again
