I cried too. I am 68 and have never had a break and no family history of breaks. I have 3 older sisters and none were on any meds except my oldest who is now 86, has hiked in Colorado every year including last year. She went off Fosamax because it made her quality of life less. I wish I had your scores. My T score for hip is - 3.2 and lumbar spine is -2.7 . I walk, do free weights and resistance and get the my calcium from food and powdered Calcium Citrate( mix into smoothies) because it is more easily absorbed. Good luck. Your life is not your moms. Your choices are not hers. Not all women who have osteoporosis( almost every woman after menopause has some degree) will have a fracture. Work on your balance and pray about it. Stay positive and move forward with determination and not fear ! xo
