Spinal osteoporosis after 10 months on ADT

@surftohealth88 Thank you. I exercise 4-5 times a week, resistance training and cardio, and I do take calcium and vitamin D, 500 mg and 2000 IU respectively. I agree it was irresponsible not to have ordered me a bone scan at the start. I had no idea or I would have requested it.

If I may just suggest doing some exercises that involve small bouncing moves (like going up and down one step , or using small trampoline, or doing small bunny jumps ). Studies were done mostly for women and osteoporosis but now there were done for men on ADT also (Australia) and the same effect was noticed - those kind of small "bounces" cause bone to regrow. Somehow those small "impact" moves cause bones to grow stronger.
Now that you have weakened spine : ((( , please ask you doctor (or even better PT therapist) if those kind of exercises are too much for your spine. If they are not, than it might be worth trying them.
Wishing you all the best and super fast reversal of you a bone loss 🍀
