Thank you everyone for your post.
I mentioned in my first post, I suffered. With the doctors calling extreme osteoporosis. I had 5 bulging disks And my body crushed my rib cage , suffering for the rib fractures. I am a 62 year old male,.i was offered the Evenity injections for 8 months . I only did 6. I was given A prescription of a testosterone gel.
I tried hot yoga to increase flexibility. But I started getting more pain in my back. I have a sharp pain just below my ribcage on the left side that hurts most when lying down. I have had this pain since the contortions of my torsal. I was told that it was my nerves that caused the fractures.
I posted a reply to someone who said they were diagnosed as they're Osteoporosis was caused by epilepsy drugs.
I was taking Topiramate for over 10 years.
I am in Nicaragua and found a spine specialist at the spine trama center.
In Canada my GP said it will take a year to heal. The collapse disk started in April and I was feeling less pain by July of last year. I still has the sharp pain on my left side.
After reading, and not believing my doctor to wait a year. I found this health condition should be delt with asap. My ribcage now touches my hips. I forgot the name foe this condition, side-effects can be a pinching of the hip bone. Causing pain. I can only feel the bulging disks. I am not aware of how many are bulging. I watched a couple of videos on exercises, but they are painful,so I will try to keep moving with walking.
It is crazy that a person like myself suffered 5 compressed disks was very close to becoming a paraplegic. And my doctor said take the pain medication and relax at home.
I los 4" in height and have trouble breathing in damp weather.
I hope to find this thread to post the specialist discussion late next week.

@gpt, I'm down 3 and a half inches and have about half an inch between ribcage and hipbone. I'm sorry you are having so much pain. This disease is a misery.

@gpt wow. You poor guy. My left rib al.ost touches my left hip. I have severe osteoporosis and scoliosis. Lots of natural fusions saved me more problems. Mt t score is -4. Im on Evenity now. Sending you lots of good vibes. Keep advocating for yourself.
