I totally agree with you both. Our medical system is struggling here in the u.s
Not to mention the historic lack of funding for women's healthcare research.

Oh my gosh - thanks for that link! I took a quick peruse through some of the pages and found a tool for structuring a conversation with my HC provider (https://www.patientrevolution.org/tools). I've been stressing over the last couple of days as I've tried to gather up all my thoughts, questions, etc., about testing to establish my baselines for bone turnover, HRT, etc., the types of referrals I want her to make (like a PT with experience treating OP) and why I don't want to just jump on the fosamax wagon.
So thank you - very timely!

@gravity3 Try finding research on *male* osteoporosis treatment. There isn't much. My orthopedist didn't even mention OP to me, even though I presented as a 63-year-old male with a compression fracture not caused by trauma or fall. Not a word!
