@gravity3 yes I am totally into being our own advocate and researching. My spine is -3.0 and hips -2.5. Have been to rheumatologists, Endocrinologists, gynecologist, my general doctor and they all prescribe a different op drug. My dentist, my cardiologist don't believe in any of the op drugs. I fractured my wrist and metatarsal in 2023 and 2025. Some of those drs classify it as an osteo fracture others don't.
Who could understand this?

Justin mcclanahan, moderator has just posted some interesting info on assessing op medication risks under the subheading Non fracture members. It may be of interest to you.
@lourdita15 I must admit, that in addition to concerns about GI effects, added muscle/back pain— one that concerns me especially is dental problems…as we age, our gums recede, making us quite vulnerable to losing teeth—therefore my concern.

Oh my gosh! What a maze of recommendations to sort through and make sense of. Thanks for sharing this information. Have you had a chance to just sit with all of this I put and begin to make sense of it with what you already know about your own body?
