@windyshores osteoporosis was the only reason given as to why the break in the leg bone. The orthopedic surgeon who looked at the x-ray said that the bone should have appeared white on the x-ray instead of the grey tones he was seeing and he was also concerned about osteoporosis.

Three months after the broken leg bone I had rotator cuff surgery and the suture anchors, which were screwed into the arm bone, pulled out. I returned for a second shoulder surgery to remove the anchors. I was again told that the cause could have been thinning bone tissue in the arm which was not able to hold on to the suture anchors.

I wonder how accurate the DEXA scans are.

I am aware that Evista is not the first choice of medication after going off Evenity to hold on to the gains in bone density. I believe it was my only choice. I am scheduled for another DEXA scan in one year to see if the Evista is helping me hold on to bone. Am also wondering if the DEXA in a year is soon enough. In the meantime I am fully engaged with diet, supplements and exercise.
