Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I ordered the book, "Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis" and will be picking it up today from the bookstore. I can't wait to read it and thank you for recommending it to me. My score of -2.5 is for the hip ... that's not the worst. My concern is the spine ... which reads, -2.8 to -3.5. Neck is --3.2
Do you think it's serious enough to start taking medication or should I continue with exercise, vitamins and diet?
I appreciate your help,
Toni

@toni7 sorry I thought your worse score was -2.5. I never get more than one score for the spine (lumbar). What is the -3.5 for? And by "neck" do you mean lumbar neck?

If insurance pays or if you qualify for their assistance, Tymlos or Forteo might be a good approach. You can ask your doctor,
