Don’t delay with that DEXA scan and I would also get your bone turnover markers tested.
Like you I had a full hysterectomy and never took hormones and they were never recommended. I was so naive in those days. Too busy with teenagers and work. I then had a DEXA 10 years later and found I had osteoporosis! I was in shock when the Dr told me and recommended meds without any real discussion about alternatives.
I started researching the meds and alternatives and went the natural route. I incorporated many of the interventions that the people in the “natural” community recommend. Exercise, diet, supplements etc and for the most part have been stable for the last 8 years. Had some improvements from osteoporosis to osteopenia in my spine and one femur. Had a bit of a set back last year so have ramped it all back up. I had also gotten a bit complacent. It’s very easy to do - especially when you have other issues to deal with!
Good luck!
