I had duodenal erosion some years back, which healed fine. But it was why I didn't take Fosamax for osteopenia. Then researched more and read what you noted, that current thinking is to not start drugs for osteopenia anyway.

I'm still curious that 2 DEXA scans, 6 years apart, had almost the exact same bone density numbers except the lumbar spine actually improved. Yet the T-score numbers got somewhat worse. That makes zero sense unless the FRAXL algorithm puts me at higher risk only because I'm 6 years old and is presuming imbalance and/or a fall risk. Neither the endocrinologist nor PCP could explain that oddity.
