This is a good question. My Spine is -2.7 and hips -2.0. My Dr suggested Evenity but insurance denied it. So I asked her to do an appeal. Which I know I won’t win so she suggested Prolia which is a last resort for me or Reclast. I had tried Fosomax when I had osteopenia and had severe back pain with 2 nights a week so I stopped it. I recently started HRT in the gel form. I know HRT doesn’t build bone but does stop the bone from breaking down. Which is exactly what Fosomax does. So why would we need both?

Logical good question!
I don’t know why someone would need both .
I don’t know why I can’t JUST do HRT .
The doctor I see for my bones said I need a bisphosphonate .
When I brought up the idea of HRT said it wouldn’t be enough . I think I’ll push back with asking her to explain why
