@crs1950 You can also get blood tests to see the rate of bone breakdown and buildup, P1NP and CTX. That should be covered by Medicare and can be done sooner than one year to see if the med is having an effect.

@baguette Why is this not a standard set of tests for anyone dealing with osteoporosis? My doctor's never even mentioned something like this, yet after doing some reading it sounds like the results of these tests would provide valuable information.
