Thank-you,
I was just diagnosed, I have had multiple surgeries, on my spine, and neck hands and feet, and these are all from stenosis, and from worn out joints. Carpal tunnel, CMC joint arthoplasty. Trigger finger, ACDF Bunion surgery. Revision lower lumbar surgery.
I don’t have fractures.
I just want the safest way to keep my osteoporosis from getting worse.
I have osteoarthritis too, my heritage is 1/2 Azch Jewish and 1/2,Eastern block
Any input ?

I also have Ashkenazi Jewish in my background and was just diagnosed with osteopenia (scores -1.3 to -2.0 with fracture risk of 1.7/10). My doc says I’m “doing everything right”, but need to up my calcium intake. Will start PT soon to figure out more weight-bearing exercise that my hypermobile Ehlers Danlos body can handle.
