Femoral neck -2.8: Would you start treatment now?

I would not solely spend time on non-medication approaches at this point. Your bone density has gotten worse and will probably continue to do so. The nutrition and exercises are important, but if it were me, I'd want to use meds to get my T-scores back to -2.0 or better.

@njx58 Thank you. Your response really gets to the core of what I'm wrestling with. Part of me wants to throw everything at lifestyle changes first, but another part of me worries about losing more bone while I wait, and risks associated with HRT.
If you were in my position, which medication would you start with and why? Are there particular treatments that are more likely to move a T-score from the osteoporosis range back into the osteopenia range (around -2.0 or better)? Thank you so much.
