What decision to make regarding osteoporosis

I am amazed that you had weightlifted for all of those years and got Osteoporosis. I exercised through my 20's and rollerskated until I was 48. Many of those years were 12.5 hours skating per week. I have seen more people who were eating and exercising right but still had bone loss. I will be done with my Evenity shots in late July. I should have a scan done soon after that and hopefully I can get surgery so that I can fix my back. I can't stand over 5 minsat a time.

I was the same. I lifted since I was 17 years old and have always had a career where I am on my feet and walking. I have gut issues and wonder if that is part of it. Also had a stress filled life and quite a bit of sleepless nights. One doctor said that I must have never made strong bones from the beginning.
