@missmoo Thanks so very much for all your advice. You have been a wealth of information. I apparently have pre-osteoporosis, and the doctors are advising me to go on Prolia, and I'm not doing it. I'm slim, probably too slim, but still remodel homes for clients and am up and down ladders and do physical work.
I am not ready to give in. Keep your advice coming. FYI.....our cat's name is Miss Moo! HA!

@missmoo Wow, I'd never go on Prolia if I only has osteopenia, because I've read it's basically a life-long drug. If you ever stop taking it, you are at great risk for fracture if you don't go on a bisphosphonate.
A great resource on Facebook is page "Brick House Bones" by a physical therapist who specializes in osteoporosis, Dr Lisa Moore. She has lots of free exercise videos and advice. She doesn't allow any discussion on medications though.
FYI, I am 76 and my worst T-score is in my spine at -4.1. I can't take Forteo or Tymlos due to parathyroid issues. I don't know if I could take Prolia even if I wanted to. I am very careful with my movements so I don't fracture.
