@sunnyflower at least you have no one to blame for the rotten shape your bones are in but you can help them. Biophosphates area first line med for OP and help to rebuild bone structure along with calcium if you’re taking that. Your body has already told you repeatedly that it needs help. Your pathological fractures that you describe (“no trauma”) are due to your bony structures failing you. It will only get worse and as one provider stated you’ll be in a WC eventually. It may not be too late to help yourself, give it a shot!
All medications have side effects but not everyone gets them. Up until a few years ago the prescribing data was not available to the general public. Now that it is don’t dive into the rabbit hole and defeat your well being. Since you like to research find out how many people have been treated with Biophosphates with no side effects. I’m one of them.

@jenatsky Biphosphonates are not "first line med." They are the least effective at building bone. Anabolics are the top meds.

@jenatsky Disagree about bisphosphonates being first line of treatment. My doctor started me with a choice of Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity. They don’t work as well if you have previously taken a bisphosphonate. Fortunately I had never had one. Tymlos is working well with no side effects
