I’m a 60 year old female with scoliosis since early teens. Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis- first routine bone scan. Recently read articles about study in Saudi Arabia where bone scans done on young girls with scoliosis showed osteoporosis. My internist recommendation was start fosomax . Wondering if should wait. Have I had thin bone density since teens?

Hello @charlenei and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is an interesting study you mention. Can you post a link for members to read?

Are you trying to determine if you should start Fosomax based on the notion that you could've had thin/low bone density since your teens?
