Ive dont like the risk that are in those meds so Dr told me to make sure I increase my calcium to 1200 mg a day I split it 600 2x a day Magnesium, Vit D3 Vit K 1@2 get lots of dairy products . Im waiting to get another Dexa scan to see if all this has improved. I fell the other day on my back ,scared me ,but no fracture . I dont hurt in my back at all .
