@contentandwell I'm sorry to hear now JK you have osteoporosis I was only told from my last bone density that the bone was thinning so this is what she told me to do . My Dr. has me do a bone density every 2 years. Yours haven't ? I would think hard about the bone meds they ask you to go on . Mine did mention to me if I wanted to go on them I told her no ,she said good just find a good liquid bone growth product which I mention in another post . Good luck with whatever you and the Dr. decide .

@lioness From what I have been told by a number of people, when osteopenia is diagnosed, DEXA scans should be done at least every two years and then when it reaches a certain point drugs are prescribed. That was not done at all. My PCP definitely dropped the ball and I think I am done with him. How can I feel confident in him anymore?
I realize that these drugs all have some very real negatives but so does fracturing a bone. I am trying to make an appointment with an MGH rheumatologist for this. As I said in a different conversation about Prolia, you and your doctor have to decide which is the bigger risk, not being on medication, or being on one and suffering side-effects. I want to get the possible doctor I can get so that we can decide what is best for me.
Bone broth sounds like a good idea too, maybe I will start buying it and drinking some each day. How much of it do you drink in a day? Does bone broth taste OK, like regular broth?
