Are you seeing an endocrinologist or a physician who is trained in treatment of Osteoporosis? Do your own research so that you can engage you provider in meaningful discussions about the types of drugs available, their function and possible side effects along with treatment plan and sequencing.

Physician is Internal Medicine doctor. The more I am learning from this site the more I realize that this is complicated. I will seek out a specialist as well as continue to learn all I can.

@gravity3 I am seeing an endocrinologist referred by my PCP after DEXA results. First appointment I didn’t know enough about osteoporosis or its treatment to ask intelligent questions. Saw 3 more osteoporosis (after 8 months of fosamax and before reclast infusion)“specialists” (gyne, orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist), gyne and orthopedic do not treat, rheumatologist said she would have started bone builders first. Creative field!
