I’m on the same dosage of levothyroxine - have been since 1996 when half my thyroid gland was removed. I know that med isn’t great for bones either. Had been on Premarin but stopped during the pandemic - just resumed and I never thought about the effect that may have on bones. I get PT and acupuncture and those seem to help.

Good for you. I was supposed to get acupuncture, but insurance wouldn’t cover it, so I never got it. I hear it is helpful. My spondylolithsesis is a problem, but my SI joints (right especially) cause me horrible pain. Sounds like we could be sisters . Lol. I have taken Premarin for years. The prior authorization is because of my bones. Over time it has helped my bone density improve. My back issues have always been secondary to my lung issues which started when I retired . I probably stayed too long in one moldy, asbestos filled school building. The custodians had to kick me out at night. I was “ that” teacher. Let me know how things go for you. I know I will have to have my SI joint done again sooner than later. Today is a heating pad and a back brace day if I am to vacuum up German shepherd hair! The robot isn’t good at that!!
