Femoral neck -2.8: Would you start treatment now?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 20 minutes ago | Replies (97)Comment receiving replies
My femoral reading is presently -2.6. My spine is osteopenia. I am at present taking a drug holiday and if I could take HRT that is what I would do as there are added benefits in addition to bone health. In your situation, I would spend all my effort on evaluating the appropriateness of HRT for my situation AND focusing on targeted diet and exercise. Especially jumping. Treating hips with various osteo meds is, in any event, notoriously difficult....treating spinal osteroporosis with various osteo meds is usually much more successful. Good luck.

@rjd Thank you. That's interesting, particularly because my biggest concern is the femoral neck rather than my spine. I've noticed a few people mention that hip osteoporosis is more difficult to improve than spinal osteoporosis. Your comment about HRT is helpful as well, as that's one of the decisions I'm currently trying to work through with my doctor.
