@teresa. It's good that you brought your test results with you.
I thought that meds like fosamax increased all bone density. How would it not work for the hips?

I'm not using fosamax right now, @merpreb. Fosamax is very hard on the stomach and I've had three upper digestive tract surgeries. She was discussing a different med that would be given by injection.
As I was thinking about it I realized how short-sighted Medicare is. If I break a hip it would cost them a lot more than the med that would help the bone loss in the hip. Oh well...only a small problem in the scheme of things, I suppose.
