My neurologist keeps bringing up that so need to go on either fosamax or prolia. I just don’t want to have additional GI issues (I have IBS). I feel they just want to push these meds whether you need it right now or not. I’m 80 years old and am looking for quality of life.

I would ask the DR why you need to start medication when you are only in osteopenia. They should explain the reason why.

Do you have any fractures?
