bettersleep68.....yes me too journey is challenging, supplements and exercise have to be tailored to an individual daily program. Not easy to figure out the bone's requirements. Stay the course, and don't give up, that right doctor should work with you and has enough bone knowledge for safe and effective therapies discussion, or else find someone else. My osteoporosis approach at 72 is no meds or dangerous bone pills. My tailored recipe for bone health now: 3-4 times a week LA fitness weight-bearing exercises, 50 minutes each time, 7,500-10,000 walking steps a day, good nutrition, bone supplements. Most importantly, been using low-dose bioidentical testosterone creme applied to the lower spine. Have a consult in February to look at recent DEXA/TBS numbers and re-evaluate our bone plan approach. Lab results - my hormones were very low (estrogen, testosterone), and needed to be balanced with the right dose, route and type, and low hormones are the cause of bone loss for me, no other underlying condition. Hope this is helpful. Exploring different safe treatment options to stop the bone loss is a worthwhile conversation with a doctor. I have an integrative MD.
